Sweet & Savory Fall Comfort: Apple Cider Glazed Pork Chops

Fall Comfort Food Recipe: Apple Cider Glazed Pork Chops

This fall season, I’m excited to share a recipe that combines the savory flavors of pork with the sweet and tangy taste of apple cider. These apple cider glazed pork chops are the perfect comfort food dish for cozy evenings at home.

To start, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 4 pork chops (approx. 600g)
• 1 cup apple cider
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tbsp dijon mustard
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

For this recipe, you’ll need the following kitchen tools:

• skillet
• tongs
• measuring cup
• knife
• cutting board

Start by seasoning the pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.

In a separate bowl, mix together the apple cider, maple syrup, dijon mustard, minced garlic, and chopped thyme. Pour this mixture over the seared pork chops in the skillet.

Reduce the heat to low and let the pork chops simmer in the apple cider glaze for about 10-15 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and the glaze has thickened.

Once the pork chops are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Spoon the apple cider glaze over the pork chops and garnish with additional fresh thyme, if desired.

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 800g, with 4 servings. Each serving is around 200g, and the approximate calorie count per serving is 350 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to marinate the pork chops in the apple cider glaze overnight for even more flavor. This will allow the pork to absorb the sweet and tangy flavors, resulting in a more delicious dish.

I hope you give this apple cider glazed pork chops recipe a try and enjoy the comforting flavors it brings. Feel free to make it your own by adding in your favorite fall spices or serving it with a side of roasted vegetables. Happy cooking!
