Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 (6-ounce) pork chops
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove pork chops from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add apple cider, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard to the skillet. Stir to combine.
  5. Bring the glaze to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  6. Return the pork chops to the skillet. Spoon the glaze over the chops.
  7. Add thyme leaves to the skillet.
  8. Cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F).
  9. Serve the pork chops with the glaze spooned over them.

Notes

  • For thicker chops, you may need to increase the simmering time.
  • You can substitute honey for brown sugar for a different sweetness.
  • Fresh rosemary can be used instead of thyme.
