Notes

For an added flair, serve the pork chops with caramelized apples by sautéing sliced apples in butter and brown sugar until soft. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Use room-temperature pork chops for even cooking, and consider using a meat thermometer to check for doneness at 145°F. For variations, you can grill the chops or use a slow cooker method. Adjust the sweetness of the glaze to your liking as it reduces.
