Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 3 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp apple butter, and 1 tbsp brown sugar until smooth to create the glaze.
Step 2: Rub 4 bone-in pork chops (6 oz each) with 2 tbsp olive oil, then season evenly with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp garlic powder.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Place pork chops on the grill and cook for 4 minutes per side, brushing generously with the apple-mustard glaze during the last 3 minutes of grilling to caramelize.
Step 4: Remove chops from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
