Instructions

1. 1
   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. 2
   Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir apple and onion in melted butter until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer apple and onion mixture to a bowl.
3. 3
   Place pork chops in the same skillet over medium heat; cook until pork chops are browned, about 5 minutes per side. Place pork chops in a 9x9-inch baking dish; season with salt and black pepper.
4. 4
   Mix applesauce, brown sugar, mustard, and cinnamon into apple and onion mixture. Spoon over pork chops.
5. 5
   Bake, covered, in the preheated oven until pork chops are no longer pink in the center, 30 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
