Juicy pork chops glazed with a sweet and tangy apple sauce, perfect for a comforting dinner.

Main Dish

Steps

Season the pork chop with salt and pepper.
Sear the pork chop in a hot pan until browned on both sides.
In the same pan, add sliced apples, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Simmer until the sauce thickens and the pork chop is cooked through.
Serve the pork chop with the apple glaze on top.

Tips for Apple Glazed Pork Chops

Look for a glossy glaze that clings to the pork and tender apples that still hold their shape; reducing too far can make the sauce sticky.
A wide skillet gives the apples room to soften evenly and helps the sauce reduce without crowding.
The 30-minute total leaves little resting time, so have sides ready before cooking; let the chop rest briefly before serving for juicier slices.

Drink pairing

A dry hard cider
Its crisp apple character complements the glaze, while its dryness balances the brown sugar.

0% option: Sparkling apple juice diluted with soda water

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the glaze may thicken, so loosen it with a small splash of water.
