2 tablespoons olive oil
6 boneless pork loin chops (6 to 8 ounces each), about 3/4 inch thick
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup apple cider
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
Minced fresh parsley
1. Olive oil should be heated over medium heat in a big skillet. Pork chops should be browned on all sides.
2. Meanwhile, mix the following seven ingredients with the apple cider in a separate small dish.
Drizzle over pork chops. Cover and cook on medium heat until an instant-read thermometer inserted into a chop registers 145 degrees, about 4 minutes.
Take the chops out of the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes.
3. Cornstarch and water should be mixed until smooth in a small bowl, then added to the cider in the pan.
Bring to a boil again while stirring continually, and keep stirring for another minute or two, until the mixture has thickened. Drizzle over chops and top with chopped parsley.
