Apple-glazed Pork Chops

Ingredients

• pork chops

  bone-in or boneless
  6 unit
• oil
  2 tablespoons
• salt and pepper

  to taste
  1 unit
• cider vinegar
  ½ cup
• water <ref>Instead of the water in the sauce

  I used some brewed cranberry apple herbal tea and it gave it a wonderful flavor. Because the cider vinegar has such a strong flavor, the tea didn't really make it taste more like apple, but it gave it a richer, more complex flavor. Simply brew 1 cup of Bigelow Cranberry Apple herbal tea as directed on the package and use ½ cup of the unsweetened tea in place of the water in the recipe. Note that some kinds of apple-flavored herb teas have spices added. This particular flavor does not. It just has a fresh apple flavor.</ref>
