Servings:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Heat a large, deep oven-safe skillet or pot over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the oil.
Generously season each side of the pork chops with salt and pepper, then brown for 4 minutes on each side and remove from the pan.
Melt the butter in the pan and add the sliced onion and apples. Cook for 5 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and rosemary and cook for another minute.
Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 - 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Whisk in the broth, lemon juice, Dijon, honey, salt, and pepper. Continue whisking until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Taste and add more salt if desired.
Place the pork chops back into the pan with the sauce and cover with the sauce.
Place into the oven to finish cooking the pork chops for about 10 - 12 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145℉. Begin checking the temperature at the 5 minute mark depending on how thick the pork chops are.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Always check the temperature of pork because it sometimes “looks pink” depending on the cut but is cooked through and safe to eat.
Cook time in the oven will vary depending on the thickness of the chops.
You could technically finish cooking the pork chops on the stovetop in the sauce, flipping them every couple of minutes, but the oven ensures a more even cook-through.
