Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

02

Step

In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of dried sage, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Dredge the pork chops in the seasoning mixture, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Heat the olive oil and butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Allow the butter to melt and become frothy. (1-2 minutes)

04

Step

Carefully place the seasoned pork chops in the hot skillet and sear on both sides until nicely browned. (7-10 minutes total)

05

Step

Pour the apple cider into the skillet, add the remaining 1 teaspoon of dried sage, and drizzle the honey over the pork chops. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until the pork chops are cooked through and no longer pink in the center. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). (10-15 minutes)

07

Step

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before plating. Spoon the delicious apple cider sauce over the pork chops and serve immediately.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the spice mixture for a subtle heat.
Ensure your skillet is truly oven-safe before transferring it to the oven to avoid any mishaps.
If the sauce becomes too thick while simmering, add a splash of apple cider or water to thin it out. Conversely, if it's too thin, simmer for a few more minutes uncovered to reduce it.

    Be careful not to overcook the pork chops, or they will be dry. Use a meat thermometer!
