Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Juicy Apple Butter Pork Chops
  1. Season the pork chops liberally with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear the pork chops for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  2. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and tent with foil to keep warm.
  3. In the same skillet, add sliced onions and diced apples. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until onions are translucent and apples are tender.
  4. Stir in the apple butter and whole grain mustard, add a splash of water if needed. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until well combined.
  5. Return the pork chops to the skillet, cooking for an additional 5 minutes over low heat to soak up the glaze.
