Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a mixing bowl combine the water, brown sugar, sea salt, apple juice concentrate, peppercorns, and thyme. Give it a good stir to dissolve the sugar and salt. Transfer the mixture to an extra-large re-sealable plastic bag. Submerge the pork chops in the brine, seal up the bag, and put it in the refrigerator for 2 hours to tenderize the meat. Do not brine longer than that or the meat will break down too much and get mushy.
- Remove the pork chops from the brine and pat them dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides of the meat with salt and pepper. Put a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add a 3-count drizzle of olive oil and get it hot. Lay 2 pork chops in the pan (most likely only 2 of these massive pork chops will fit comfortably) and brown 4 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops to a large baking pan; brown the remaining 2 chops and add them to the others in the pan. Put the baking pan in the oven and roast the chops for 30 minutes. The pork is done when the center is still rosy and the internal temperature reads 140 to 145 degrees F when tested with an instant-read thermometer.
- While the chops cook, melt the butter in a clean skillet over medium-low heat. Add the apples and thyme and coat in the butter; cook and stir for 8 minutes to give them some color. Toss in the raisins and add the apple juice, stirring to scrape up the brown bits. Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and dry mustard; season with salt and pepper. Squeeze in the juice from the lemon to wake up the flavor and simmer for 10 minutes or until the apples break down and soften. Spoon the spiced apples over the pork chops.

SPICED PORK CHOPS II
This is based on Joan MacKinnon's really great 'Spiced Pork Chop' recipe, modified based on numerous reviews from others and trial and error. This is my current favorite version for empty nesters (i.e. two servings). The gravy is optional but very tasty. It is important to use the size pan indicated so that wine sauce can spread out and evolve. I find the gravy is better if not too thick. Also use milk if you want a thinner gravy.

CUBAN SPICED PORK CHOPS
This is the perfect recipe for those who love the flavors of a classic Cuban pork roast but are cooking in small quantities. Typical of Cuban fare, these are full of tropical flavors but not spicy. The garlic and lime pair beautifully in a fragrant marinade. Though you can marinade as briefly as an hour, for best results let the pork soak up to 6-8 hours. (Don't marinade overnight as the citrus cooks the pork over longer periods). Serve these with my Almost Fried Plantains #134349 for a delightful healthy meal.

Tips for Making Perfectly Spiced Pork Chops
- Choose high-quality pork chops: Look for chops that are at least 1-inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the chops stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
- Use a flavorful spice rub: The spice rub is what will give your pork chops their amazing flavor. Be generous with the spices and make sure to rub them into the chops evenly.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chops from drying out. If you cook them over too high heat, they will quickly become tough and overcooked.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork chops are cooked to your desired doneness: The internal temperature of the chops should be 145°F for medium-rare, 155°F for medium, and 165°F for well-done.
- Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chops, making them even more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion
Spiced pork chops are a simple yet delicious meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can easily create perfectly cooked pork chops that are full of flavor. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give these spiced pork chops a try. You won't be disappointed!
