Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the chili powder, paprika, onion powder, and salt.
- Use paper towels to dry excess moisture from pork chops. Press seasoning evenly over both sides of the pork chops. Set aside.
- In a saucepan set over medium-high heat, add the apple cider vinegar and reduce it by half. Stir in apples, chicken broth, maple syrup, and mustard. Bring to a boil and continue boiling (uncovered) until reduced, 6 minutes. Turn heat off. Add 1/4 tsp table salt, or to taste. Keep warm.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side (cook in 2 batches if needed; don't crowd pan.) Reduce the heat to medium-low, with lid on but slightly ajar to allow steam to escape. Cook 2-3 more minutes or just until center is cooked; do not over cook.
- Transfer to a serving platter and serve with the maple apple sauce. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
Notes
- This sauce is au-jus style; not a thick glaze. If you want a thick glaze, simply dissolve 1-2 TB cornstarch in 1-2 TB water in a small bowl. Once fully dissolved, add it to the boiling maple-apple sauce during the boiling step.
- Bone-in pork chops will take longer to cook; you may need to add an extra minute on both sides.
- Serve Saucy Apple Pork Chops with Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes and Kale Brussel Sprouts Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing for a comforting and nourishing meal.
