Ingredients
4 bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
2 cups apple cider
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
2. In a small saucepan, combine apple cider, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and fresh thyme leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer until reduced by half, about 10-15 minutes.
3. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
4. In a large oven-proof skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops on both sides until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
5. Pour the apple cider glaze over the pork chops and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
6. Bake the pork chops in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 145°F.
7. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
8. Serve the pork chops drizzled with the remaining glaze from the pan.
