Pork Chops Glazed with Apple

Prepare the Pork Chops:

Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork chops in the skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Apple Glaze:

In the same skillet, add the diced apples and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Pour in the apple cider or apple juice, followed by the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, rosemary, and thyme. Bring to a simmer and cook for around 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Glaze the Pork Chops:

Return the seared pork chops to the skillet, spooning some of the apple glaze over them.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let the pork chops simmer in the flavorful glaze for about 10-15 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Finish and Serve:

Once fully cooked, transfer the pork chops to a serving platter.
Stir in the butter to the remaining glaze in the skillet, letting it melt to create a glossy sauce.
Drizzle the luscious apple glaze over the pork chops and garnish with extra fresh rosemary or thyme if desired.
