Instructions

Step 1: Season 4 bone-in pork chops evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper on both sides.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 145°F). Remove from skillet and set aside.
Step 3: Reduce heat to medium and add 1 medium peeled and diced apple to the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes until softened.
Step 4: Stir in 6 chopped fresh sage leaves, 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 1/2 cup chicken broth. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 5: Return pork chops to the skillet and spoon sauce over them. Cook for 1-2 minutes to reheat pork and meld flavors. Serve pork chops topped with the honey-apple sage sauce.
