Spiced Apple Pork Chops
A savory-sweet autumn classic. Juicy pork chops glazed with cider and studded with tender, spiced apple slices.
Welcome to the GND Recipes Library! Pork and apples are a legendary culinary pairing. By using dehydrated apple slices in your pan sauce, they rehydrate into intensely flavorful, slightly chewy bites that absorb all the savory pan juices and spices, creating a rustic and delicious glaze.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Sear: Season pork chops generously with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot skillet with a little oil for 4-5 minutes per side until browned. Remove from pan and set aside.

Deglaze: Add the butter to the skillet. Pour in the apple cider to deglaze the pan, scraping up the browned bits.
-
Simmer: Add a handful of GND Apple Slices and the cinnamon to the simmering liquid. Let it reduce for 3-4 minutes until it forms a glaze and the apples soften slightly.
-
Finish: Return the pork chops to the pan, spoon the apple glaze over them, and serve immediately.
💡 GND Pro-Tip: Fresh apples can turn to mush when cooked down in a sauce. GND Apple Slices hold their beautiful shape and offer a concentrated, tart-sweet flavor that cuts through the richness of the pork perfectly. 👉 Shop GND Apple Slices
