Tomahawk Pork Chops with Rustic Baked Gala Apples
Some cooks chase complexity, but sometimes the best meals are the ones you can make with a good fire and a little patience. These tomahawk pork chops are a perfect example — thick, bone-in cuts cooked over glowing charcoal and hickory wood until the edges crisp and the meat stays tender and juicy. The kind of meal that feels primal and comforting at the same time.
While the pork cooks, a pan of rustic baked Gala apples finishes in the oven. Butter, brown sugar, honey, and cinnamon come together to create a simple side that feels homemade in all the best ways — soft apples with caramelized edges and a buttery glaze that pairs perfectly with smoky pork. It’s a meal built around timing, balance, and the magic that happens when fire meets simplicity.
