- 4 (1 1/4″-thick) bone-in pork chops
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 medium crisp, sweet apples (such as Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala), cut into 2″ wedges
- 10 sage leaves
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Season pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear pork chops, turning occasionally (including outside edge of fat cap), until browned all over, 8–10 minutes. Transfer chops to a roasting pan.
- Cook apples, sage, and 1/2 tsp. salt in same skillet over medium heat, turning apples, until browned on all sides, about 3 minutes. Transfer apples and sage to roasting pan, nestling around chops.
- Transfer roasting pan to oven and roast until chops are cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into center of chops registers 160°F, 8–10 minutes.
- Divide chops among plates and serve with apples and sage alongside.
