Main Ingredients
- 4 pcs pork chops about 1-inch thick
- 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
- 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 2 Granny Smith apples cored and sliced

Preparation Steps
- Season the pork chops with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add sliced apples and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
- Pour in the apple cider and bring to a simmer, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Return the pork chops to the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 10-15 minutes until cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Stir in butter to enrich the sauce and add a glossy finish.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
