Description
Make delicious apple cider glazed pork chops. This easy skillet recipe brings warm, fall-inspired flavors to your table. You will sear the pork chops, then cook them in a sweet and tangy apple cider-Dijon mustard glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (1-inch thick) boneless pork chops
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup apple cider
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and a crust forms.
- Reduce heat to medium. In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider, Dijon mustard, maple syrup (or brown sugar), and dried thyme.
- Pour the apple cider mixture over the pork chops in the skillet. Bring to a simmer.
- Cook, flipping the chops occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze thickens and coats the pork chops and the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Remove from heat and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Adjust the sweetness of the glaze to your preference by adding more or less maple syrup or brown sugar.
- For thicker chops, you may need to increase the cooking time slightly.
- Serve with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
