The fruity apple and warm spice flavors in this rub are light and pleasing. Sprinkle it on pork tenderloin, chicken or turkey breasts to completely cover the outside of the meat and grill immediately. This makes enough for a whole chicken, 6 large pork chops, 2 pork tenderloins or a whole turkey breast.

Categories     condiment

Time 5m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup crumbled dry apple chips
1 1/2 teaspoons black peppercorns
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/4 teaspoon whole allspice
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

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.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick.
  • Toasting the spices in a skillet before grinding them will help to release their flavor.
  • Be sure to let the pork chops rest for at least 5 minutes before serving, so that the juices can redistribute.
  • Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side salad.

Conclusion:

These pork chops with toasted spice rub and apple dressing are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The spice rub gives the pork chops a flavorful crust, while the apple dressing adds a touch of sweetness and acidity. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
