Honey Mustard Spiced Apple Pork Chops

1.Pat the pork chops dry and trim off any extra fat if needed. Rub a small drizzle of vegetable oil over each chop, coating evenly. Season both sides with kosher salt, black pepper, and paprika.

2.In a large skillet, heat about 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, sear the pork chops for 1–2 minutes per side, just until golden brown. Avoid overcooking at this stage. Transfer the chops to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to rest.

3.Pour out any excess oil from the pan, then add a fresh tablespoon. Toss in the sliced onions and apples, and cook over medium heat until softened and lightly caramelized, about 6–8 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

4.Deglaze the pan with apple cider vinegar, then stir in liquid smoke, coarse Dijon mustard, BeeMaid Honey, cayenne pepper, and half of the chopped parsley. Mix together and bring the sauce to a simmer. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

5.Return the pork chops to the pan, spooning the sauce over them as they cook. The meat should be juicy and tender.

6. Top with remaining parsley and serve warm alongside your favourite side dishes.
