Apple Cider Pork Chops, pan-fried, juicy tender pork chops cooked with fresh herbs, apples and apple cider. An easy dinner recipe full of flavor.
I love Cider! When you make this dinner using apples and apple cider, the flavors are wonderful!
Here I served the pork chops with some creamy mashed potatoes and simple steamed vegetables and served with the Apple Cider sauce in a jug at the table so everyone could help themselves.
It went down a storm!
So please enjoy!
*** You can also cook this in a slow cooker on LOW for 4 hours, after the Browning stage. (stage 1)
Ingredients
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
4 pork loin chops
1 teaspoon chopped fresh sage, parsley or your favorite herb. Thyme also works nice.
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 apple, cored and cut into cubes
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup (250ml) dry cider
2 Teaspoons Grained Mustard

3 tablespoons heavy or double cream (optional for the sauce at the end)
Instructions
1. In a large heavy frypan, over medium-high heat, add olive oil, garlic, and mustard. Fry the pork chops on both sides until a nice golden color.
2. Add the diced apples to the pan turning them so they brown a little.
3. Add the apple cider. Stir to deglaze the frypan - getting any nice bits from the bottom.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, and add the fresh herbs and salt and pepper to taste.
Turn the heat down to low add the lid and cook for about 15 minutes or until juices run clear from the pork.
4. Remove the pork chops and apples to a serving dish and stir the cream into the juices in the pan. Make sure the heat is low as you do not want to split the sauce. Let it warm through and then it is ready for transfer to a serving jug!
If you are not using cream, make up a tablespoon of cornstarch with a drop of water and add to the sauce in the pan to thicken if necessary.
