Ingredients
Scale
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 (6 ounce) pork chops
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup apple cider
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
Instructions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chops from the skillet and set aside.
Pour the apple cider and apple cider vinegar into the skillet. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Stir in the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, rosemary, and thyme.
Return the pork chops to the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the glaze has thickened.
Serve the pork chops with the glaze spooned over the top.
Notes
For thicker chops, you may need to increase the simmering time.
Adjust the brown sugar to your desired sweetness.
Fresh herbs add the best flavor, but dried herbs can be substituted (use 1/3 the amount of dried herbs).
