Brizoles Hirines (Greek Pork Chops) is a classic Greek dish that is typically served with a side of rice or roasted vegetables. The pork chops are seasoned with salt and pepper, seared until golden brown, and then baked in the oven until cooked through. The apples are sautéed in butter and apple cider with a dash of cinnamon to create a sweet and tangy topping for the pork chops. This dish is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal that is both hearty and flavorful.
