SWEET AND TANGY APPLE PORK CHOPS
This is a recipe I created using the idea that pork and apples go splendidly together! The seasonings give the pork a sweet and slightly spicy taste. The apple cider adds to the sweetness, while bringing a unique tartness as it is absorbed into the meat. Serve with applesauce, if desired. Hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Combine the cider, cinnamon and 1/4 tsp salt in a cup. Set aside.
- 2. Pat the pork chops dry and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper.
- 3. Heat a 12-in/30.5-cm skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil shimmers, add the seasoned pork chops to the pan and cook until lightly browned on the first side, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook until browned on the second side, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer the pork chops to a plate. (They will not be cooked through at this point.)
- 4. Add the sweet potato, apple, shallot, cider mixture, and a grind or two of pepper to the hot pan. Bring it all to a simmer, cover, and reduce the heat to medium-low or low-the pan should bubble, but not too aggressively. Cook the potato mixture until a fork easily pierces the partially cooked potato but there is still some resistance, about 10 minutes.
- 5. Return the pork chops to the pan (along with any juices accumulated on the plate) and nestle them into the potatoes and apples. Cover and cook until the meat is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, about 8 minutes longer. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- 6. Transfer the pork chops, potatoes, and apples to two warmed plates. There should be some liquid remaining in the pan to serve as a base for the sauce. (If the potatoes have absorbed all of the liquid, add 2 to 3 tbsp cider to the pan and heat it briefly over medium heat.) Stir the mustard into the pan juices with a fork. Taste the sauce and add more pepper if it needs it.
- 7. Spoon the sauce over the meat and vegetables, sprinkle the parsley over the top, and serve hot.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops. Look for bone-in, center-cut pork chops that are about 1 inch thick. These chops will cook evenly and stay juicy.
- Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade will help to infuse the pork chops with flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that contains acidic ingredients, such as vinegar or lemon juice, to help tenderize the meat.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chops from overcooking and drying out.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to your desired doneness. For medium-rare pork chops, cook to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. For medium pork chops, cook to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. For well-done pork chops, cook to an internal temperature of 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more tender and flavorful pork chops.
Conclusion:
Sweet and spicy apple mustard pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork chops are tender and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful and tangy. Serve the pork chops with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side salad for a complete meal.
