Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork loin chops
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 large cooking apples I used Braeburn (peeled, cored, and sliced)
- 2 large cloves garlic minced

- 2/3 cups dry, hard cider (I used Crispin - or substitute apple cider)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon wholegrain mustard I used Grey Poupon
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
- springs of thyme to garnish
Instructions
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook pork chops until well browned on both sides, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the pork chops and keep warm. Add the butter and apple slices to the skillet, and cook until the apples begin to brown.
- Add the garlic and sugar, and cook for 1 minute.
- Stir in the hard apple cider, mustard, apple cider vinegar, and chopped thyme. Boil for a few minutes until sauce bubbles and thickens slightly.

Substitute regular apple cider for a non-alcoholic version.
