Description
Make fall-inspired pork chops with an apple cider glaze. This skillet recipe features seared chops cooked in a sweet and tangy apple cider and Dijon mustard glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup apple cider
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove chops from the skillet and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add apple cider, Dijon mustard, butter, and thyme to the skillet.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Return pork chops to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Remove pork chops from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Increase heat to medium-high and continue to simmer the glaze until it thickens slightly.
- Spoon the thickened glaze over the pork chops and serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your pork chops.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a bay leaf to the glaze.
