Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 2 sliced medium apples with 2 tbsp melted butter, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until golden and tender.
Step 2: Meanwhile, season 4 bone-in pork chops evenly with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp ground cumin. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 4 minutes per side until browned and just cooked through.
Step 3: Remove pork chops and set aside. Lower heat to medium and add 1/3 cup whiskey, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 1 tbsp honey to the skillet. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 4: Return pork chops to the skillet and spoon the whiskey glaze over them. Cook for 2 more minutes, turning chops to coat well. Serve pork chops topped with roasted apples and extra glaze.
