Ingredients
4 3/4-inch thick boneless pork chops
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth*
1/2 cup apple cider
1 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground allspice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp butter
2 medium sweet crisp apples
1 small red onion
1 1/2 tsp minced fresh sage
1 1/2 tsp minced fresh rosemary
Directions
Preferably let pork chops rest at room temperature 10 minutes while preparing ingredients. In a liquid measuring cup or bowl whisk together broth, apple cider, mustard, cinnamon and allspice. Set aside. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of pork chops with salt and pepper . Once oil is shimmering add pork chops. Sear until browned on bottom, about 4 - 5 minutes then flip and continue to cook, until center registers 145 degrees, about 4 - 5 minutes longer. Transfer pork chops to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Melt butter in same skillet over medium heat. Add in apples, onions, sage and rosemary and saute until tender, about 4 minutes. Pour in broth mixture and season with a little salt as desired. Let simmer until reduced by about half, stirring occasionally, about 2 - 3 minutes. Return pork chops to pan and spoon mixture over chops. Serve warm. *For a slightly thicker sauce if desired, you can whisk 1 tsp cornstarch in with the broth before adding to skillet. Stir frequently. .
