How to Make Apple Mustard Glazed Pork Chops

  1. Season pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Brown pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  4. Transfer browned pork chops to a slow cooker or a Dutch oven.
  5. In the same skillet, add 1/2 cup apple juice, 1/4 cup apple jelly, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar (optional, for extra tang). Stir to combine.
  6. Pour the glaze over the pork chops in the slow cooker or Dutch oven.
  7. If using a slow cooker, cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high for 1.5-2 hours, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the glaze has thickened. If using a Dutch oven, cover and cook over low heat for 20-25 minutes, until the pork chops are cooked through and the glaze has thickened.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
