Step 1
Whisk together brown sugar, honey mustard, mustard powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Rub this mixture all over the pork chops and let them sit for about 10 minutes so the flavors can soak in.
Step 2
Meanwhile, melt some butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then pour in the apple cider. Once it’s warm, add the pork chops to the skillet. Cook them for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side, until they’re nicely browned.
Step 3
To make sure they’re done, check the thickest part with a meat thermometer—it should read at least 145°F. Once cooked, take the chops off the heat and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with roasted vegetables or a simple green salad for a complete meal. Mashed potatoes or rice also pair well and help soak up the delicious apple sauce. A side of steamed green beans adds a nice crunch.
Storing This Dish
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to maintain moisture. The apple sauce can be kept separately and reheated before serving.
