To create your Apple Butter Pork Chops, simply follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Pork Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. This step is important for achieving a nice sear.
2. Season the Chops: In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Rub this seasoning blend evenly over both sides of each pork chop.
3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Sear the Pork Chops: Place the pork chops in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
5. Add Apple Butter: Once the chops are done cooking, reduce the heat to low. Spoon the apple butter over the chops, allowing it to warm for about 2-3 minutes.
6. Glaze the Chops: Flip the chops in the apple butter to coat them evenly and ensure they are well-glazed.
7. Garnish: Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the pork chops with fresh parsley, if desired.
8. Serve Immediately: Place the apple butter-glazed pork chops on a serving plate, allowing your guests to enjoy the aromatic presentation.
