Ingredients
Apple Cider Brined Chops on the Grill with Spiced & Sliced Apples
Spiced & Sliced Apples
Directions
Mix apple cider, sugar, salt, and thyme together in a plastic bag or baking dish. Place chops in container and let set for 1 hour on the counter. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
Remove the pork chops from the brine and pat them dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides of the meat with salt and pepper. Set grill to medium heat. Cook chops on each side for 3-4 minutes each or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F. Place in pan 5-10 minutes to rest and come to a final temp of 145°F. Meat should be lightly pink inside.
While pork is resting, place apple slices on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove from grill and stir into sugar mixture. Place slices on top of each pork chop and serve.
