Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
In a shallow baking dish large enough to hold the chops in a single layer, spread the thinly sliced onions and apples evenly across the bottom.

Drizzle the honey over the apples and onions, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the caraway seeds. Toss gently to combine.
-
Season the pork chops on both sides with garlic salt and black pepper to taste.
-
Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over the top side of each pork chop.
-
Place the pork chops on top of the apple and onion mixture, mustard-side up.
-
Sprinkle the remaining 1 teaspoon of caraway seeds over the pork chops.
-
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the apples are tender.
-
Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon the baked apples and onions over the chops.
