Pan-Seared Pork Loin Chops with Apple Cider Glaze

Pork loin chops seared in a cast iron skillet, basted with apple cider glaze and garnished with garlic and thyme.

These pork loin chops cook quickly and get a tasty upgrade from a slightly sweet apple cider glaze. It’s a great recipe for when you want something a little fancy without a ton of effort. They pair perfectly with mashed sweet potatoes or a fall salad.
