Ingredients

4 (1-inch thick) boneless or bone-in pork chops
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 apples, cored and cut into wedges
2 Tbsp honey
3 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels, then sprinkle both sides with the salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chops and brown well, about 5 minutes per side.
Stir in the honey, apple wedges, and garlic; cover and simmer until the pork is tender, about 8 minutes.
An instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should read at least 145F.
Serve the chops topped with the apples and pan juices, garnished with sage leaves.

Rum's sweetness and bourbon's warmth both complement the rich, savory character of pork.
