Chef's Note
For the juiciest pork chops, remove them from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to take the chill off. Also, don't skip the resting period after cooking - this allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat for maximum tenderness.

Instructions
- 1
Pat pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- 2
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard, 3 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves. Set glaze aside.

Core and thinly slice 1 medium head of cabbage. Thinly slice 1 medium yellow onion. Peel, core, and slice 1 large apple.
- 4
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- 5
When oil is shimmering, add pork chops (work in batches if needed) and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.

In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Return pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the cabbage mixture. Spoon half of the honey-mustard glaze over the chops.
- 11
Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C).
- 12
Remove pork chops to a clean plate and tent with foil. Let rest for 5 minutes.
- 13
Increase heat to medium-high and simmer cabbage mixture uncovered for 5 minutes to reduce liquid.

Stir in 2 tablespoons butter and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves into the cabbage. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
