Dan loves to grill all sorts of things, including Maple Bourbon Grilled Shrimp Kabobs, and I'm all for it when he's in the mood to do so.
He also loves collecting special seasonings and spices different places that we go. When he does, it's a treat, because we end up getting to try different flavors right in our very own kitchen.

Tips for Making Maple Pork Chops with Apples and Onions
- You'll need however many pork chops will feed your family. For our family of 5, we cook 4 to 6 chops and usually have plenty of leftovers.
- Rub the pork chops down with a special seasoning called Twisted Q Crooked Pig Seasoning BBQ with Maple and Cane Sugar Twist. It doesn't take a lot, but it adds a whole lotta flavor. Place the chops in a bowl, and put them in the fridge so they can marinate.
- Grill the pork chops slowly, letting all the flavors infuse as they cook. We also prefer to grill on a charcoal grill, adding even more grilling flavors in.
- Meanwhile, while the maple pork chops are grilling, melt the butter in a skillet. Add sliced apples and onions to the skillet on low-medium heat.
- Fry the apples and onions at a lower temp, adding salt and pepper for added flavor.
- Once the chops are cooked through to an internal temperature of 165° F. and done grilling, add a helping of apples and onions on top before serving.
Pair these juicy pork chops with delicious sides like mashed potatoes, vegetables, buttermilk cornbread, etc. It all combines to make a delicious home cooked meal.
