Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
• 3 (4 ounce) pork chops
• 0.5 cup barbeque sauce
• 0.25 cup apple butter

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Whisk barbeque sauce, apple butter, brown sugar, black pepper, and garlic together in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave until sugar dissolves, about 30 seconds. Stir until sauce is smooth.

Step 3

Place pork chops on a plate and pour sauce over chops. Refrigerate for flavors to soak into pork chops, 1 to 2 hours.

Step 4

Cook pork chops on grill until cooked through, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
