Steps:
- Pat pork chops dry using a paper towel then season on both sides with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, chili powder and flour together until completely combined.
- Sprinkle each pork chop with seasoned flour then pat to coat evenly. Set pork chops aside to allow flour to absorb moisture released by the pork chops.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat then allow the pan to heat evenly. Add oil then place as many pork chops as will comfortably fit into skillet without overcrowding the pan.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes until dark golden brown on the first side, then flip and cook on second side to desired doneness or until just barely cooked though-additional 1-2 minutes depending on thickness. Transfer pork chops to a plate, cover lightly with a sheet of aluminum foil and set aside.
- Return skillet to heat then add apple cider, vinegar, honey and Dijon to skillet, whisking to combine. Bring mixture to a boil, scraping the bottom of the pan to dissolve all of the brown bits into the cider.
- Allow liquid to boil rapidly for about 6-8 minutes until it becomes thick and has reduced by slightly more than half. Remove from heat then season glaze to taste with salt and pepper. Return pork chops to skillet, turning to coat in glaze, or pour glaze over pork chops and serve immediately.

PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND BRANDY
Pork and apples are a classic autumn pairing, the kind of dish that everyone has some version of in their home cooking repertoire. Perhaps it's gilding the lily, or rather larding the pig, but anytime I pair pork and apples, I just have to have a bit of brandy and cream to bring out the flavors of both.

Steps:
- Using a meat mallet, pound the pork chops until they are ½ inch thick. Generously salt and pepper.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apples and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove to a separate bowl.
- Melt another tablespoon of butter in the same skillet. Brown the chops on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Do it in two batches if necessary, adding another tablespoon of butter for the second batch. Remove to a separate plate.
- Deglaze the pan with the brandy and cider. Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, 7 to 8 minutes. Stir in the cream. Reduce heat to low. Stir in the apples and any accumulated juices. Return the pork chops to the pan, cover, and cook until chops are cooked through, about 4 more minutes.

Steps:
- Season the chop with salt and pepper. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the EVOO in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chop until golden, 3 to 4 minutes per side, tenting loosely with foil once you turn the chop. Remove the cooked chop to a plate and cover to keep warm. Add the remaining EVOO and the onions and apples. Season with salt, pepper, and the thyme and cook until just tender, 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Douse with juice of the 1/2 lemon and remove to the plate with the chop.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the butter to the skillet and when it melts, whisk in the flour. Cook for 1 minute, stirring, then whisk in the cider and stock. Season the gravy with salt and pepper. Cook over medium-low heat for 3 to 4 minutes to thicken.
- Serve the chop covered with apples and onions, the gravy poured down over the top, and the muffin alongside.
PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND ONIONS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Season the pork chops generously with salt. Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring it to a high heat. Sear the pork on both sides and on the fat edge, working in batches if the chops don't all fit in the pan at the same time. Be sure not to crowd the pan. Remove the pork from the pan and place on a cookie sheet. Finish the pork in the oven for about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
- Ditch the excess fat from the saute pan. Give a drizzle of fresh olive oil and add the onions and crushed red pepper and season with salt. Cook until the onions become soft and aromatic. Add the apples, cinnamon and rosemary and toss to coat with the oil. Add the cider and cook until the cider has reduced by two-thirds and the onion-apple mixture is very soft and saucy. Serve over the pork chops.
- Porky deliciousness!

Steps:
- Make the spice salt: Put peppercorns, cloves, allspice and sage in a spice mill or mortar and grind to a powder. Remove to a bowl and stir in salt. Season pork chops on both sides with salt mixture. (There will be some salt mixture remaining; use it to season the sauce, Step 4.) Cover and leave chops at room temperature to absorb seasonings for at least 30 minutes.
- Peel, quarter and core apples, then cut each apple into 12 wedges. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a wide skillet and raise heat to medium-high. Add apple wedges in one layer and brown gently on one side, about 2 minutes. Brown on the other side and cook for 2 minutes more, or until apples are cooked through but still firm. Remove apples from pan and keep warm.
- Add 1 tablespoon butter to pan and swirl to melt. Dust pork chops with flour, and place in pan and brown gently for about 4 minutes per side. Adjust heat if necessary to keep pork from cooking too quickly. Remove chops and keep warm on a platter in a low oven. Discard remaining butter.
- Add ½ cup cider to pan, raise heat to high and cook down to a syrup. Add mustard and chicken broth, and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Add potato starch and stir with a wire whisk as the sauce thickens. Stir in crème fraîche. Season to taste with remaining spiced salt. Add 2 tablespoons cider and the Calvados, if using. Cook for 1 minute more.
- Spoon sauce over the chops, then spoon the apples around the platter. Sprinkle with chives and parsley.

Steps:
- Pat pork chops dry with paper towels. Season each side with a sprinkling of pepper, and salt if desired. Heat oil in a large nonstick frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat until just hot then add pork chops and brown both sides (around 5 minutes if your pork chops are around 1/2-inch thick).
- Stir cider and brown sugar together and add to the frying pan. Reduce heat to low and simmer the pork chops, uncovered, turning the chops after a minute, until the meat is almost cooked through but not quite (about 2 minutes). Remove pork chops to a plate with a fork.
- Add the vinegar and ground mustard to the frying pan juices and bring to a boil, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan with a spatula. Continue to cook until the glaze mixture is reduced to about 1/3 cup. It will take 5 to 10 minutes. The cider mixture will get bubbly when it is just about at the syrup/glaze stage.
- Turn off heat. Place the pork chops back in the frying pan along with any juices that formed on the bottom of the plate.
- Flip chops over to coat both sides with the cider glaze, cover frying pan and let sit for a minute or two to blend flavors. Check thickest part of the pork chop for desired doneness and serve.

Transfer chops, browned sides up, to a large shallow baking pan, reserving skillet. Bake chops until heated through, about 20 minutes.
- While chops bake, melt butter in skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook onion with sugar and salt, scraping up brown bits and stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until onion is softened, 8 to 10 minutes.

PORK CHOPS WITH APPLE CIDER BRANDY GLAZE

Steps:
- Pat the chops dry on both sides and season. In a medium sized sauté pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon EVOO and heat until just smoking. Add the chops and cook until nicely colored, approximately 4 minutes. Turn the chops over and continue cooking for one additional minute. Being careful of the flambé (fire!) which might occur due to the brandy, add the glaze mixture, and continue to cook until the internal temperature of the chops reaches 140 degrees F, approximately 7 additional minutes. Remove the chops to a side plate and cover with foil, then reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook the glaze mixture until slightly thickened, approximately 5 additional minutes. At this time return the chops to the pan and flip to glaze both sides. Remove the chops from the pan once again and finally spoon any remaining glaze over the chops. Serve.
Tips:
- To ensure your pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If you don't have apple cider, you can substitute apple juice or chicken broth.
- If you don't have brandy, you can substitute dry white wine or apple cider vinegar.
- Feel free to add other ingredients to the glaze, such as brown sugar, honey, or dried cranberries.
- Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
These pork chops with apple cider brandy glaze are a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. The sweet and tangy glaze complements the pork chops perfectly, and the whole dish comes together in just 30 minutes. So next time you're looking for a quick and flavorful dinner, give this recipe a try!
