Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon mustard powder
• 2 tablespoons honey mustard
• 1 pound pork chops
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.75 cup apple cider

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix brown sugar, honey mustard, mustard powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder together in a small bowl; rub onto pork chops and let sit on a plate for flavors to dissolve into pork chops, about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add apple cider. Arrange coated pork chops in the skillet; cook until pork chops are browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
