Pork Chops With Toasted Spice Rub And Apple Dressing Recipes

PORK CHOPS WITH APPLE DRESSING

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Place in a greased 11x7-in. microwave-safe dish. Top with pork chops. Cover and microwave on high for 8-12 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°. Prepare gravy mix according to package directions. Serve with pork chops.

PORK RUB RUBBED AND BAKED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Mix paprika, sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper together in a wide, shallow bowl. Dredge pork chops in the spice mixture to coat and arrange on a baking sheet.
• Bake chops in preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

APPLE RUB

Steps:

• Grind the apple chips to a very fine powder in a spice grinder. (The drier the powder, the better and the rub will last longer without clumping.) Transfer to a bowl.
• Grind the peppercorns, coriander seeds and allspice into a fine powder and add it to the apple powder.
• Add the sugar, salt, paprika, ginger and cinnamon to the apple powder mixture and combine well. If not using immediately, store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 30 days.

SWEET AND TANGY APPLE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix brown sugar, honey mustard, mustard powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder together in a small bowl; rub onto pork chops and let sit on a plate for flavors to dissolve into pork chops, about 10 minutes.
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; add apple cider. Arrange coated pork chops in the skillet; cook until pork chops are browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
