Delicious and juicy pork chops glazed with a sweet and tangy cider sauce, perfect for a cozy dinner.
Ingredients
- 4 Pork chops bone-in or boneless
- 1 cup apple cider
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar packed
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons thyme chopped, fresh
- 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the apple cider, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and thyme. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for about 2-3 minutes until it slightly thickens.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon some sauce over them.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the pork chops are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon additional sauce over the top if desired.

Isn’t cider more of a drink? How does it work with meat? Sounds odd. I and just trying to figure it out.
Who needs fancy restaurants when you can cook like this at home? So easy to make! 🍽️
I dunno… looks a bit too complicated for me. Can’t we just order takeout? 😅
Absolutely! Cooking at home is the best, especially with recipes like this! Can’t wait to try it! 🍏✨
I followed the recipe to a T, but my chops came out a bit dry. Maybe I overcooked them? Not sure if I’ll try again.
These pork chops were absolutely delicious! The cider glaze gave it a nice sweet tang. Will definitely make again!
I tried this recipe too, and it was a total hit at my dinner party! The glaze is to die for! 🍏
Yummmm! My whole family loved this recipe! 🍏🥩
I don’t think these are worth the hype. The glaze was too sweet for my taste, and the chops didn’t stay juicy.
I totally get what you mean! I found the glaze too sweet too. Maybe a little less sugar would help?
But I loved the glaze! It’s what made the dish special for me. Every recipe isn’t for everyone, right?
Just okay, I think the flavors didn’t pop enough for my taste. Might need more seasoning next time.
This was super easy to make! Thanks for the clear instructions! 🌟
Easy steps and great taste! I used some rosemary ‘cause I didn’t have thyme and it turned out just fine.
Pork chops are my favorite but this just didn’t do it for me. I won’t make again. 🙁
Never tried cider glaze before. Thought it was gonna be weird but ended up loving it. Super yumm!
These pork chops were amazing! The cider glaze gave them such a unique flavor. Definitely making this again!
Recipe is kinda weird with apple cider. Do people really use that in meat? I usually just use BBQ sauce…
Weird? Nah, it’s awesome! Cider makes the meat moist and tasty. BBQ sauce is good, but try mixing it up sometimes!
I get where you’re coming from! BBQ sauce is classic, but apple cider does add a sweet and tangy flavor that’s really nice. You should give it a try!
Did i miss something? Cooking times seem off. My chops were way too dry!
Sounds like user error. Follow the times, and they won’t be dry. 🤷♂️
I had the same issue! My chops turned out tough too. Timing feels off!
