Method
Step 1: Season the pork chops
- Combine brown sugar, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the pork chops until fully coated.

Step 2: Sear the pork chops
- Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet. Sear the chops for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Step 3: Add apple juice
- Pour apple juice into the skillet. This helps create moisture and enhances the chop’s sweet, smoky flavor.

Step 4: Roast the pork chops
- Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 325°F. Roast for 45 minutes until tender.

Step 5: Butter finish
- Add butter to the skillet and spoon it over the chops. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes
Serve this pork chop with mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
