Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 2 medium cored and sliced apples with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper, then spread on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  2. Step 2: While apples roast, season 4 bone-in pork chops with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup whiskey, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme.
  4. Step 4: Pour the maple-whiskey glaze over the seared pork chops in the skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 5-6 minutes, spooning glaze over chops frequently until sauce thickens and coats the meat.
  5. Step 5: Serve pork chops hot alongside the roasted apples.
