Sheet Pan Pork Chops with Roasted Apples and Brussels Sprouts

This sheet pan meal is a weeknight lifesaver. With just a few ingredients and minimal prep, you can have a delicious and healthy meal on the table in under 30 minutes. The pork chops are juicy and flavorful, the apples are sweet and caramelized, and the Brussels sprouts are tender and slightly crispy. Best of all, everything cooks together on one sheet pan, so cleanup is a breeze.

I've been making this recipe for years, and it's always a hit with my family and friends. I originally developed it as a way to use up leftover pork chops, but it's now one of my go-to weeknight meals. I love that it's so easy to make and that it's a complete meal in one pan. Plus, it's a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.
