Ingredients

4 servings

4 boneless loin chops (about 1” thick)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
salt and black pepper (to taste)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
½ red onion (sliced)
2 large tart apples (sliced)
⅔ cup apple cider (or as needed, not apple cider vinegar)
2 teaspoons whole grain dijon mustard
⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
2 sprigs fresh thyme (or ⅛ teaspoon dried thyme leaves)

Steps

Season pork chops with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown pork chops about 5 minutes on each side or until browned (be sure not to overcook the pork). Remove from the pan, and set on a plate.
Add butter and onions to the skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes or until onions start to soften. Add apples and continue to cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
Whisk apple cider, mustard, and cinnamon, and add to the skillet with thyme. Simmer 2-3 minutes.
Add the pork chops, along with any juices on the plate, back into the skillet.
Push the pork chops down into the apples. Simmer an additional 2-3 minutes or until the sauce has cooked down slightly and the pork reaches 145°F with a meat thermometer.
