Juicy pork chops seared and finished with a sweet and tangy apple cider glaze, served with tender apples and onions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 medium apple, cored and sliced
  • 1/2 medium onion, sliced
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh sage, chopped (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season generously 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 browned. Remove chops from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add butter to the skillet. Add the sliced apple and onion and cook until softened and lightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Pour in the apple cider and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  6. Stir in the Dijon mustard and chopped sage (if using).
  7. Return the pork chops to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 5-8 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  8. Remove pork chops from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.
  9. Increase heat to medium-high and simmer the sauce uncovered until it thickens into a glaze, about 3-5 minutes.
  10. Serve the pork chops with the apple and onion mixture, spooning the glaze over the top.

Notes

  • For extra juicy pork chops, ensure you cook them to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and let them rest before serving.
  • If you don’t have fresh sage, you can omit it or use 1/2 teaspoon dried sage.
  • This dish pairs well with roasted sweet potatoes or a simple green salad.
