Smoked Pork Chops w/Apple-Bacon-Mustard Sauce

Pork chops are so booooooring, right? Wrong. SMOKED pork chops are amazing. They taste a little like ham and cook up beautifully on the stove.  Juicy and smoky!

I seasoned mine with salt and pepper, then browned them in a couple TBS of butter. In the meantime, I grabbed a bowl and mixed together some diced apples, chopped bacon, and herbs (rosemary and sage) with some Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, chicken broth, maple syrup, garlic powder -- and my favorite ingredient of late: smoked sea salt.

I poured the apple mixture over the chops and simmered on low until the apples were soft and the pork tender, maybe 10-15 mins, max. Served with couscous and a green salad, I'd say it was a very not boring, delicious dinner.
