Tender Glazed Pork Chops with Apple Mustard Glaze

1. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring the rack is positioned in the middle.

2. Prepare Baking Sheet

Prepare your baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil, setting a wire rack inside, and then spraying the rack with vegetable oil spray.

3. Mix Glaze

In a small bowl, mix together the apple butter, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and cider vinegar until well combined.

4. Season Pork Chops

Sprinkle kosher salt evenly over both sides of each pork chop. Place the chops on the prepared wire rack and brush 1 teaspoon of the glaze over the top and sides of each chop.

5. Roast Pork Chops

Roast the pork chops in the oven until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of each chop registers 135 to 137 degrees Fahrenheit. This will take about 40 to 45 minutes.

6. Increase Oven Temperature

Once the chops have reached the desired temperature, remove the baking sheet from the oven and increase the oven heat by switching to the broil setting.

7. Broil Chops

Brush 1 tablespoon of the glaze over the top and sides of each chop. Return the baking sheet to the oven and broil the chops until the glaze is bubbly and slightly charred in spots, which should take about 3 to 6 minutes.

8. Rest and Serve

After broiling, let the chops rest on the wire rack for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat. Sprinkle with minced fresh parsley and serve immediately.
