Sweet and Tangy Apple Pork Chops

This is a recipe I created using the idea that pork and apples go splendidly together! The seasonings gives the pork a sweet and slightly spicy taste while the apple cider adds to the sweetness while bringing a unique tartness as it is absorbed into the meat. 

Feel free to omit the cumin or to lessen it since I know it is a strong flavor. Hope you enjoy!

• 1 lb. Pork Chops (I had 4 in total)
• 2 Tbsp Butter
• 3/4 cups Apple Cider
• 3 Tbsp Brown Sugar
• 2 Tbsp Honey Mustard (Dijon works just as well also, or you can mix together plain mustard and some honey)
• 1/2 tsp Cumin
• 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1/2 tsp Cayenne (optional; you can use another chili powder if you wish)
• 1 tsp Mustard Powder
• Apple Sauce (to enjoy the pork chops with once you finish)

Step 1: Combine the brown sugar, cumin, cayenne, honey mustard, and mustard powder in a small dish. Once mixed, rub the spice concoction onto the pork chops and let them sit.

Step 2: Melt butter in a saucepan big enough to cook the pork chops in over medium heat.

Step 3: Once butter is melted, add apple cider to the pan. Then place pork chops in the pan.

Step 4: Cook pork chops for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until browned. Serve with some apple sauce and enjoy!
