Tips For Choosing What To Serve With Shake and Bake Pork Chops

I've put together this list of easy tips and tricks to help you choose some side dishes:

  1. Potatoes. Mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, or roasted potatoes are all great choices. You could even try my roasted garlic mashed potatoes if you like garlic.
  2. Vegetables. Roasted, steamed, or grilled vegetables are always a great choice! Broccoli, green beans, asparagus, carrots, and brussel sprouts all pair well with pork chops. Season them with herbs, garlic, or a little olive oil.
  3. Rice or Grains. A side of white rice, quinoa, or another grain pairs well with pork chops. You can even season your rice with fresh herbs for extra flavor, like my cilantro lime rice.
  4. Salad. A light salad is always a great option. Try a green garden salad with a variety of vegetables or a Caesar salad with homemade dressing.
  5. Sauces or Gravy. A flavorful sauce or gravy will give contrast to the crispy baked pork chops. You could try white country gravy, pork gravy, or another of your favorite sauces!

Ingredients
 

  • 3-4 large apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)

  • ⅔ cup water
  • ½ tablespoon all-purpose flour

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C/Gas Mark 4) and lightly butter, grease, or spray an 8x8 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • While the oven preheats, peel and slice your 3-4 large apples (*see note) and coat them with ½ tablespoon lemon juice to prevent browning. Layer the apples into your prepared baking dish.
  • Mix the ⅔ cup water, ½ tablespoon all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch until smooth, then add the ½ cup light brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, melted 1 tablespoon butter, and 1 pinch salt. Stir until well-combined and pour the mixture over the apples.
  • Bake the apples for 20 minutes before taking them out and stirring them. Place the apples back in the oven, removing them every 15 minutes to stir, until the apples are tender (about 45 minutes total).
  • Remove the baked cinnamon apples from the oven once they reach your desired level of tenderness, then allow to cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

  • Apple slices should be cut so that they are approximately the same size and thickness so that they bake up evenly.
  • I prefer using Honeycrisp apples or Braeburn. Golden Delicious, Crispin, Cortland, Granny Smith, Jonagold, Fuji, Gala, McIntosh, Pink Lady, Winesap, and Rome are also great apples for baking. Any firm, semi-sweet apples will do. Avoid tender apple varieties like Red Delicious apples, they won't hold up well to being cooked for so long.
  • Keep your oven toasty by closing the door when you remove the baked apples to stir. This also keeps your cooking time on point.
