Apple Cider and Sage Glazed Bone-In Pork Chops

These bone-in pork chops are seared and served topped with a sweet apple cider glaze - a fitting recipe for fall. I usually serve these pork chops alongside some whipped Cheddar potatoes which contrasts with the sweetness of the apples.

Instructions

Let the pork chops sit at 30 minutes before cooking. Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a large (12-inch) cast iron pan over medium heat, add olive oil and heat through.
Sear the pork chops until golden brown on both sides, about 10 minutes total.
In a small bowl whisk together the apple cider and brown sugar. Add to the pan with the sage leaves and simmer, turning the pork chops once, until cooked through, about 3 minutes (the internal temperature should read 140ºF/ 60ºC).
Transfer the pork chops to a plate to rest and return the pot to the heat. Add the vinegar and simmer the glaze over medium-low heat until reduced to about 1/3 cup.
Serve the pork chops topped with the apple cider glaze.
