These Drunken Apple Pork Chops are an easy 30 minute recipe. They’re one of my favorite quick dinner ideas.
My recipe for Drunken Pork Chops are one of my family’s favorite dinners. I love them because they are so quick and easy to make. My family loves them because of the incredible sauce.
This recipe for Drunken Apple Pork Chops is a delicious twist on my original recipe.
This recipe quickly became one of our favorite quick and easy recipes. I love it because the pork chops are smothered in sweet apples and onions and simmered in a decadent sauce made from Angry Orchard Hard Cider.
Angry Orchard is one of my favorite adult beverages. I love the crisp apple taste — it reminds me fall all year long.
You don’t have to worry about the alcohol in this recipe because it cooks out but if you’re still concerned, you can easily substitute regular apple cider.
It really is the perfect balance of flavor and texture. And, my family cannot get enough of these!

I am making this on Monday. I didn’t see where House Seasoning was used in it. House seasoning is listed in the ingredients. Maybe I M missing something?
Here’s the house seasoning recipe: https://www.itisakeeper.com/10427/house-seasoning-blend/
I have the same question as Deb, I found the recipe FOR the house seasoning but it doesn’t actually appear to be used in the Drunken Pork chops! Not mentioned in the instructions at all … just says ‘season with salt & pepper’ Help! I really like the sound of this dish!
I fixed the recipe card and included the amount of the House Seasoning Blend. Enjoy!
I love this recipe I also do add Dijon Mustard and applesauce and sometimes do this with a pork loin in oven, yummy!
Yum! Great idea and thanks for sharing!
