    Pork Cutlets with Onion Applesauce

    February 9, 2021 by Kyle Leave a Comment

    Super easy and delicious! You will love the combination of the thin pork cutlets topped with homemade applesauce flavored just a bit with onion. A little bit sweet mixed with a little bit of savory. Your taste buds will be so happy!

    Pork chops served with applesauce on top.

    Growing up I remember having pork chops and applesauce. We would quickly fry the chops and open a jar of applesauce to include along side. It was always a little too sweet for my taste.

    I had no idea how easy it is to make that applesauce myself. The addition of onion in this applesauce adds just enough flavor to make the pork cutlets with onion applesauce the perfect combination of sweet and savory.

    Make the applesauce days ahead of time and then fry the pork chops and within minutes you can have dinner on the table!

    Pork and applesauce served with sliced tomatoes and cubed roasted squash.

    And for a simple and flavorful dinner, you could serve them along side our jambalaya! These two recipes would be perfect to serve if you were having a Mardi Gras Dinner!

    Pork Cutlets with Onion Applesauce served with Jambalaya.

    This is how easy it is!

    • Bake the apples and onion and once cooked process in a food processor. This can be done up to a week before serving.
    • Season and fry the cutlets in less than 10 minutes.
    • Top the pork with the applesauce.
    • There you go! Dinner is served!

    Ingredients

    Onion Applesauce

    • 3 Granny Smith apples
    • 1 medium sweet onion
    • salt, to taste

    Pork Cutlets

    • 6 pork cutlets, about ½" thick (see Gr8 Note below)

    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    • 1½ teaspoons creole or cajun seasoning, I use Emeril's Creole Essense
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    Onion Applesauce

    • Preheat oven to 350℉.
    • Place the whole apples in a baking dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil. 
    • Place the whole onion, with the peel on, in a separate smaller baking dish. Do not cover with foil.
    • Place both baking dishes in the oven and bake for an hour.
    • Take the apples and onion out of the oven. When cool enough to handle, scoop the cooked apple into a food processor. Add half of the peeled onion and process until smooth. Taste the sauce and add more onion depending on your taste. 
    • Add salt to taste.

    Pork Cutlets

    • Heat olive oil in heavy skillet.
    • Season both sides of the pork cutlets with salt, pepper and cajun spice if using it. 
    • Fry each cutlet for about 3 minutes on each side. Serve with a dab of Onion Applesauce and Enjoy!

    Notes

    Gr8 Tips:
    • Click here to make your own Emeril's Essence Creole Seasoning.
    • Many times our local butcher only has 1" boneless pork chops and so I have cut them in half lengthwise for cutlets. Or, you can add the applesauce to any cut of pork! It is delicious!
    Gr8 Make Ahead Tip:
    • The applesauce can be prepared and kept in the refrigerator for one week. Bring the applesauce to room temperature before serving.
