    This Oven Baked Pork Chop Recipe is an easy sheet pan dinner that you will turn to time and time again.  The pork chops stay moist and juicy and the apples and cabbage are crisp tender.   All of the flavors blend together into amazing comfort food.

    Easy Sheet Pan Pork Chop Dinner!

    If I had to choose my favorite easy way to make dinner, it would definitely be roasting everything in one pan.  I think our mothers and grandmothers had the right idea with a Sunday pot roast.

    It always seemed like such a complex meal to me.  There was perfectly roasted meat, falling apart tender.  Potatoes, carrots and celery tender and flavored from the beef juices.  Now I know it was easy.  Time and a warm oven did most of the work for you.

    So, when I saw the book, Sheet Pan Suppers, I didn't hesitate to grab it.  So much to love about this book.  The recipes are all made on a sheet pan and they are all pretty simple.

    Ingredients in this Oven Baked Pork Chops with Apples and Cabbage

    • Napa Cabbage - I just used regular green cabbage. 
    • Granny Smith Apples - add a nice tartness.  If you can't find them, use a good cooking apple.
    • Olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt and black pepper.
    • Pork Chops - use bone in, they have the best flavor.
    • Dijon Mustard. 
    • Maple Syrup.
    • Fresh Thyme - substitute ¼ to ½ teaspoon of dried. 
    • Scallions. 

    This turned out to be every bit as good as it sounded.  I loved being able to do the whole dinner in one pan.  I love the combination of pork chops with apples and cabbage.  Though, I'm sure I'm showing my age when I say that I think of the Brady Bunch episode with pork chops and applesauce every time I have pork chops.

    How to Make Sheet Pan Pork Chops

    • Preheat the oven to 375.
    • Shred your cabbage (I used my favorite food processor) and core and slice your apples.
    • Toss the apples and cabbage with ingredients as directed and spread out on a baking sheet.
    • Pat your pork chops dry (helps them brown) and mist with cooking spray.
    • Whisk together the sauce ingredients and brush on the pork chops, place them on a rack over the slaw.
    • Roast for 35 minutes, then do a quick broil to brown the chops a bit more.
    • Let chops rest for 10 minutes to let the juices redistribute.
    • Stir scallions into apples and cabbage.

    Enjoy!

      I love how a simple dish like pork chops can be made so elegant and beautiful.
      And cabbage is such an underused veg!
