Prepare the Pork Chops
In a shallow dish, mix the flour, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and kosher salt. Coat each side of the pork chops with this mixture and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add about 2 tablespoons of canola or olive oil. Brown the pork chops on each side, then transfer them to an 8×8 baking dish.
Bake the pork chops for 40-50 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Prepare the Apple Chutney
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the salt, nutmeg (or cinnamon), curry powder, ground cardamom, and ground ginger.
Add the honey, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, Dijon (or ground mustard), apples, and raisins to the saucepan. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes or until the apples are tender.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water. Slowly drizzle this mixture into the simmering apples while stirring continuously until the chutney thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Serve the pork chops with mashed potatoes, top with the apple chutney sauce, and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Enjoy!

Perfect Pork Chops: For extra juicy pork chops, let them rest for a few minutes after baking before serving. This helps retain their juices and makes them more flavorful.
-
Chutney Consistency: If your apple chutney is too thick, add a bit of water or apple cider vinegar to reach your desired consistency while simmering.
