Apple-Cider Glazed Pork Chops Recipe

American · Main course · 30 min total

Juicy pan-seared pork chops are finished with a sweet-tart apple cider glaze that caramelizes beautifully, making for a quick and flavorful weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup apple cider
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 sprig fresh rosemary (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
• 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

1. Pat pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
3. Reduce heat to medium. Add apple cider, vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and rosemary to the skillet. Stir and scrape up any browned bits. Simmer for 5 minutes until slightly reduced.
4. Return pork chops to the skillet, spooning glaze over them. Cook for 3-4 minutes, turning once, until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
5. Remove from heat. Stir in butter until melted. Serve pork chops with glaze spooned on top.

Tips

• Let pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• Pair with roasted apples or a simple green salad.
• Substitute bone-in chops with boneless; adjust cooking time as needed.
