Description

Pork chops seasoned with a sweet-and-tangy rub are simmered in buttery apple cider, creating a tender and flavorful main dish for weeknights.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey mustard
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pound pork chops
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup apple cider

Directions

1 Mix brown sugar, honey mustard, mustard powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder together in a small bowl; rub onto pork chops and let sit on a plate for flavors to dissolve into pork chops, about 10 minutes.
2 Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add apple cider. Arrange coated pork chops in the skillet; cook until pork chops are browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
