Why This Dish Is So Special
Pro Cooking Tips
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat to get a good sear without drying out the meat.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 145°F for perfectly cooked chops.
Directions
In a microwave-safe bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, apple butter, brown sugar, black pepper, and garlic. Pop it in the microwave for about 30 seconds until the sugar dissolves, then give it a good stir so the sauce is nice and smooth. Lay your pork chops out on a plate and pour the sauce over them, making sure they’re well coated. Cover and pop them in the fridge for an hour or two to let all those flavors really sink in. When you’re ready to cook, heat your grill to medium-high and give the grates a quick oiling to keep things from sticking. Grill the chops for around 15 minutes, turning as needed, until they’re cooked through and an instant-read thermometer hits 145°F in the thickest part. Let them rest a few minutes before serving so the juices settle.
