Apple Butter & Dijon Pork Chops

Juicy, pan-seared pork chops are glazed with a savory sweet blend of Sarah’s Slow Jam Apple Butter and tangy Dijon mustard. The apple butter caramelizes beautifully as it cooks, creating a rich, glossy sauce that feels like fall on a plate.

• 2 tbsp maple syrup

• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

• 1 tsp soy sauce

• ½ tsp apple cider vinegar

• 4 (6- to 8-ounce) boneless pork chops, ¾ to 1 inch thick, trimmed

7. Reduce heat to medium-low.
