Why This Recipe Works

This easy, elegant sauce is the perfect accompaniment to cuts of pork, such as our Pan-Seared Thick-Cut, Bone-In Pork Chops. Using two types of mustard here was crucial: Whole grain added texture, while Dijon contributed a spicy kick. Applesauce nodded to the classic pairing of pork and apples and tempered the mustards' bite with a touch of sweetness.
