PORK CHOPS AND APPLES IN MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400º. Spread apples in a lightly buttered baking dish (one large enough to hold the chops in one layer) and bake for 15 minutes.
• Mix the cream and mustard in a small bowl or measuring cup. Salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
• While apples are baking, lightly salt the pork chops. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chops and cook until nicely browned, about 5 minutes a side.
• Arrange the chops over the apples. Add the wine to the skillet and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Boil until wine is reduced by half and then dribble it over the chops. (I eyeball the wine, just pouring it out of the bottle, I probably use a little more than ¼ cup.)
• Pour the cream and mustard mixture over the chops and apples. Shake the dish gently so the cream penetrates the apples. Be careful, the baking dish will be hot!
• Bake 20 minutes longer to finish cooking the chops. I usually then turn off the oven and let the chops stay in another 20 minutes.
• Let rest for 5 minutes or so. Serve chops and apples over orzo pasta.

• While apples are baking, saute the salted pork chops over medium heat until nicely colored on each side-7 to 8 minutes per side.
• Remove gratin dish from the oven and arrange the chops on top of the apples.
• Deglaze the saute pan with the white wine and reduce by half.
• Drizzle reduction over the chops.
• Mix cream (or sour cream/yogurt and milk) and mustard, adding mustard little by little until you are happy with the taste.
• Pour evenly over the chops and apples and grate pepper overall.
• Return to oven and bake an additional 15 minutes.

PORK CHOPS WITH APPLE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a shallow pan, pour marinade over pork chops and marinate for 1 hour.
• Remove the meat from the marinade and drain off the excess. In a skillet over high heat, pan-sear the pork chops on both sides in butter and oil to seal in juices. Sprinkle with a handful of fresh chopped parsley and thyme; season with salt and pepper. They should be well browned on the outside and pink in the center. Transfer the pork chops to a roasting pan, place in a single layer and set aside.
• In the same skillet, saute apples in a bit more butter and oil, add more parsley and thyme. Deglaze the pan with brandy. Pour in brown sauce and cider vinegar to create a pan sauce. Spoon the apple sauce over the pork chops. Sprinkle with more chopped herbs and salt and pepper.
• Roast in a preheated 325 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes. A meat thermometer inserted into the pork should read 155 degrees F.

PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Season the pork chops generously with salt. Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring it to a high heat. Sear the pork on both sides and on the fat edge, working in batches if the chops don't all fit in the pan at the same time. Be sure not to crowd the pan. Remove the pork from the pan and place on a cookie sheet. Finish the pork in the oven for about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
• Ditch the excess fat from the saute pan. Give a drizzle of fresh olive oil and add the onions and crushed red pepper and season with salt. Cook until the onions become soft and aromatic. Add the apples, cinnamon and rosemary and toss to coat with the oil. Add the cider and cook until the cider has reduced by two-thirds and the onion-apple mixture is very soft and saucy. Serve over the pork chops.
