An easy go to dinner, my mom made these with Lipton Onion Soup mix. Once I saw how much sodium was in the soup mix, I decided to find a better way. It's a little more work then my mother's method, but still so good and much much better for you. Read more Mom usually served these with applesauce, I served them over a bed of sauteed apples. Either way is correct :-) Check my video out at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFk_B5tuf40 See less

How to make it
- Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Salt and pepper the pork chops and put in a single layer into a baking dish that just fits them; place in the oven.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat; add the onion and the butter and stir; saute until the onions are soft and just beginning to brown, then add the flour. Stir well. Add the wine and balsamic and allow to evaporate in the pan, then add the beef broth. Stir and allow to thicken then pour over the pork chops. Continue to cook the pork chops for another 30 to 45 minutes, or until tender and cooked.
- In a saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat, add the apple slices and saute until lightly browned; add the thyme and salt and pepper to taste, and cook for about 3 minutes.
- Place the apples on a plate, top with a pork chop and spoon gravy over.
