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, pepper, and garlic together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until sugar dissolves, about 30 seconds. Stir until sauce is smooth.

Step 3

Place pork chops in a rimmed dish. Pour sauce over chops. Marinate in refrigerator, 1 to 2 hours.

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