I made these Pork Chops with Sautéed Apples and Cider Glaze as soon as we got into the swing of Fall, they are so delicious! Coat the pork chops with flour and cinnamon so they get a nice crust and drizzle with apple cider glaze. Everything is made all in one pan so it’s SUPER easy!

How to make Pork Chops with Apples and Cider Glaze

We’ll start by making our cider glaze.  I like to make everything in one pan to save on clean up. This recipe yields about 1 cup of cider glaze after it has reduced. This glaze is delicious on mashed potatoes as well so it doesn’t hurt to have extra.

To start, combine butter, olive oil, and brown sugar in a pan. Once those are melted and combined and the brown sugar has dissolved, add in dijon mustard. Allow those to combine, then add in apple cider. Once the apple cider is simmering, add in a cornstarch slurry (a mixture of cornstarch and water). The cornstarch slurry will thicken things up quickly.

Once the sauce has some drag and has slightly cooled, transfer it to a serving container, wipe your pan clean, and we’ll start on the pork chops. I bought a package of pork chops that came 4 to a pack at Walmart. These particular chops were center cut and boneless, roughly 6 ounces each. 

Mix cinnamon, and flour together, and coat all sides of the pork chops in this cinnamon/flour mixture. This will give the pork a nice golden crust.

Coating pork chops in cinnamon and flour

Next up we sear the flour and cinnamon coated pork chop in another mixture of olive oil and butter. Why both, you ask? The olive oil keeps the butter from browning! Scientific, huh?

Sear both sides until they are a golden brown. The National Pork Board recommends pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees farenheit followed by a 3 minute resting period. Remove pork chops from pan, leaving leftover liquid to sauté apples in.

I like to sear the apples until they have a little but of a crust, but however you like them is up to you. Once the apples are seared, I like to arrange everything all in one pan so my family can serve themselves and it keeps things clean.

I like to serve this dish with mashed potatoes, but they would also be delicious with: 

  • Fondant Potatoes: A classic and elegant way to serve up potatoes. Crispy on the outside, and deliciously creamy on the inside!
  • Cheesy Potatoes Au Gratin: Toss sliced potatoes with fresh cream, garlic and cheese then turn those potatoes on their side for an easy side dish with loads of flavor. 
  • Smashed Brussel Sprouts: Low carb, these creamy little smashed delights are covered in cheese and garlic. 
  • Creamy Cauliflower Au Gratin: Another low carb option with loads of flavor, this unique dish is so good, your family won’t even know they’re eating a vegetable!
