Ingredientes

1 1/2 lbs bone-in pork chops (or pork loin chops)

2 Tablespoon brown sugar

2 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon salt

Instrucciones

Light your gas or charcoal grill and heat to medium high heat, approximately 400 degrees.

Place the pork chops on a sheet pan or flat work surface. Pat dry with paper towels.

In a small bowl combine the brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly with a fork. Mix in the oil to the spice mixture. It will be the consistency of a crumbly paste. Cover the chops on all sides with the spice rub.

For the apple cider glaze:

In a small bowl, prepare the glaze by whisking together the apple cider, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt.

Put the spice covered pork chops on the heated grill. Grill for about 6 minutes. Flip the chops and thoroughly brush with the glaze on the cooked side. Grill for about 2 more minutes, flip and brush again with the glaze. Repeat this process until the chops cook for 10-12 minutes total, and reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees.

For grilled apples:

Cut small to medium apples in half. Brush the halved apples with glaze and grill face-down for about 5-6 minutes. No need to flip. Serve along with the pork chops.
