Spiced apple cider adds a warm flavor to quick and easy pork chops.

Ingredients: 4 bone-in pork chops. Salt and black pepper to taste. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg. 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice. 1 cup apple cider. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tablespoon butter. Fresh thyme for garnish optional.

Instructions: Season the pork chops with salt, black pepper, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground allspice. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and saut until fragrant. Add the seasoned pork chops to the skillet and sear on both sides until golden brown. Pour apple cider into the skillet, scraping the bottom to release any browned bits. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the pork chops are cooked through. Stir in butter to create a flavorful sauce. Garnish with fresh thyme if desired. Serve the pork chops with the spiced cider sauce. Preparation and cooking time: approximately 30 minutes.
