I was perusing pinterest looking for recipes the other day for the giant package of pork chops we got at Costco and stumbled upon this one. I adapted it a bit by reducing the brown sugar and baking it in the oven (I'm sure these would be yummy on the grill but we don't have one at this exact moment!) We tried these last night and they were SO GOOD. We served them with some brown rice and some baked apples/onions that we also brushed with the glaze. The worst thing in this recipe is the brown sugar, but the amount is not that much (it was spread between 6 pork chops and we had some left over). I hope you enjoy this as much as we did!
Ingredients:
1 lb Pork chops
For the Rub:
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. pepper
1 Tbsp. olive oil
For the Apple Cider Glaze:
1½ c. apple cider
¼ c. maple syrup
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
½ tsp. salt
1½ c. apple cider
¼ c. maple syrup
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
½ tsp. salt
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degees.
In a small saucepan make the glaze by combining the apple cider, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt. Bring to a simmer.
In a small bowl combine the brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Add the oil to the spice mixture. It will be the consistency of a crumbly paste.
Rinse the pork chops and pat them dry with paper towels, and then cover the chops on all sides with the spice rub.
Cover a 13X9 inch pan with tin foil and place the spiced pork chops inside.
Bake at 400 degrees for 17 minutes, then pull out of the over and flip. After flipping brush the pork chop with the glaze thoroughly. Bake for about 15 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees. Remove from the oven and flip the pork chops and brush them with more glaze. Turn the oven to broil and place back in the oven for a minute (watch closely) to caramelize the top!
