Instructions

1. Step 1: Season 4 bone-in pork chops evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and sear for 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chops and keep warm.
2. Step 2: Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 small finely chopped yellow onion to the same skillet. Sauté for 3 minutes until translucent.
3. Step 3: Stir in 1 large peeled and diced green apple, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp ground ginger. Cook for 5 minutes until apples soften.
4. Step 4: Pour 1/3 cup whiskey and 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar into the skillet. Simmer for 4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the apple chutney.
5. Step 5: Stir in 1 tbsp unsalted butter to enrich the glaze, then return pork chops to the pan for 1 minute to coat with the glaze. Serve pork chops topped with the spiced apple chutney immediately.
