Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown for a smoother flavor.
Add the onions and sauté until they are soft and golden.
Stir frequently to avoid burning the onions.
Remove the onions from the skillet and set them aside.
Place the onions on a plate to cool slightly.
Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, then coat them in flour.
Shake off excess flour for even browning.
Brown the pork chops in the skillet for about 2 minutes on each side.
Ensure the skillet is hot for a good sear.
Layer the sautéed onions over the pork chops in the skillet.
Spread the onions evenly for consistent flavor.
Combine the apples, lemon juice, apple cider, brown sugar, cinnamon, and allspice in a mixing bowl.
Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Pour the apple mixture over the pork chops and onions in the skillet.
Ensure the glaze covers the pork chops for even cooking.
Simmer the dish uncovered for 5 minutes, then cover and cook for 20 minutes on medium-low heat.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Stir in the dried cranberries and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
This step adds a burst of color and flavor.
Serve the pork chops with the apple-cranberry glaze and enjoy.
Garnish with fresh herbs for a touch of elegance.
