Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients

• 2 bone-in pork chops 
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup apricot preserves
• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard or whole-grain mustard

Apricots

• 2 apricots, pitted and halved
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Here's how to make it: 

1. Combine the apricot preserves, apple cider vinegar and mustard. Set aside. 
2. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a skillet. Cook the chops about 2 to 3 minutes per side, until almost done. (Cooking time will depend on thickness of the pork chops.) 
3. Spoon the apricot sauce over the chops, reduce heat and cook about 3 to 5 more minutes or until chops are cooked through. Remove to a plate and keep warm.
4. To make the apricots, heat a grill pan or skillet over high heat. Toss the apricots with the olive oil and a little salt and pepper. Put the apricots cut side up in the pan and cook until they soften, about 1 to 2 minutes. Flip them over and cook about 30 seconds more. Serve the apricots on top of the pork chops.
