Ingredients :
4 bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick– 2 tablespoons olive oil– Salt and pepper to taste– 2 apples, peeled, cored, and diced– 1/2 cup apple cider or apple juice– 1/4 cup brown sugar– 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard– 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary)– 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)– 1 tablespoon butter
Préparations :
1. **Prepare the Pork Chops:**– Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper.– In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.– Add the pork chops and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.2. **Prepare the Apple Glaze:**– In the same skillet, add the diced apples and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.– Stir in the apple cider or apple juice, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, rosemary, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes until it starts to thicken.3. **Glaze the Pork Chops:**– Return the pork chops to the skillet, spooning some of the apple mixture over the top.– Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let the pork chops simmer in the glaze for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).4. **Finish and Serve:**– Once the pork chops are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a serving platter.– Stir the butter into the apple glaze and let it melt, creating a rich, glossy sauce.– Spoon the apple glaze over the pork chops and garnish with additional fresh rosemary or thyme if desired.
