How to Make Apple Brown Sugar Pork Chops

  1. In a bowl or resealable bag, combine pork chops, brown sugar, apple juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor).
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat or heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Grill pork chops for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). If pan-frying, cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  5. Let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Serve immediately with your favorite sides like rice, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
