Busy fall nights call for sheet pan pork chops to save the day. We Southerners love our pork chops—this easy recipe gets them on the dinner table about 30 minutes from start to finish. Simply grab some honey and good mustard from the pantry, slather them on some thin pork chops, then roast the chops on your trusty sheet pan with some apples and shallots until everything’s glossy, saucy, and golden brown. And yes, you can absolutely substitute white, yellow, or red onions for the shallots to save time, money, and your precious time.
