Peach season is in full effect, and this maple peach bourbon pork chops recipe is perfect for summer entertaining and weeknight dinners.
I’m officially introducing you to my new favorite summer weeknight dinner: Maple Peach Pork Chops. I will start by saying that this is also the very first pork recipe ever on Grandbaby Cakes.
I gave up eating pork over 10 years ago and really didn’t miss it but after a while, I wanted to diversify my offerings more and decided to incorporate a little here and there back into my diet. Well after a few pieces of bacon and this dish, I think I’m back at it.
These maple peach pork chops are filled with sweet and savory flavors that play so well together. There is even a hint of bourbon in the mix which should make many of you happy. I even added a layer of sweet potatoes for a full one pot meal that can be baked or even made over the stove for more ease.
You could also probably get away with serving this for guests. It is gorgeous and also equally flavorful and fun to eat. I think all peaches should end up in dishes with pork chops. Don’t you agree?

Love this recipe, easy to do and delicious. I don’t have bourbon, so I use Jamaica rum, i don’t know if it taste the same, but love it! tks
Can I make this recipe using canned peaches. Our local peaches are out of season now and I want to try the recipe. Looks so good and I love bourbon.
Yes you can or even frozen peaches.
This meal was delicious! I see it becoming a staple in our newlywed home, thank you.
Hooray I’m so glad you enjoyed it!!
Jocelyn, I really have to thank you for this recipe! This is the second time we have made it this month, and have already included in the menu plans for when my in-laws visit in October. By luck, we had just bought a Le Crueset covered baker right before I discovered your website, and it has been happily cooking up your delicious recipes since! As we are now empty-nesters, we are having a ball expanding our repertoire of dishes and really appreciate the creativity you share with us.
Thank you so much Chris!!!! I am so glad you like this recipe. And thank you so much for stopping by and letting me know that you follow along!!!
Made this tonight. Absolutely delish. Brined the pork for a few hours and swapped out the onions for shallots. The sauce was to die for.
That sounds so fantastic! I am sooo glad you enjoyed it!
Everything you make looks absolutely divine. I love all the flavors that you incorporated in here with the pork chops, sweet potatoes, and peaches!
Thank you so much hon! They seriously go so well together!
This is one damn good recipe. I made the sauce and spooned it over pork tenderloin that I brined for a few hours. It’s definitely a summer must-make recipe!
NICE!!!! Girlfriend can I get an invite to dinner?
Is this put in the oven covered or uncovered? I’m guessing that needing to reduce the liquids would mean covered, but it doesn’t have instructions either way.
Hi Chris. I covered mine! Then reduced over the stove when done.
I don’t eat pork, but these look so good. I wonder if this recipe can be used with beef tips?
That sounds fantastic. I would love to know how it turns out!
