Ingredients: 4 bone-in pork chops. Salt and pepper to taste. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 1 large onion, thinly sliced. 2 apples, cored and sliced. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 cup hard cider. 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard. 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Fresh thyme for garnish.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 375F 190C. Season pork chops with salt and pepper. In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side or until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add sliced onions, apples, and minced garlic.
