• Preheat the oven to 350ºF.

• In an ovenproof pan, put in 1 tablespoon of butter and olive oil, and on high heat, sear the pork chops for 2 minutes on each side, until nice and brown.
• Spoon out most of the fat in the pan and put the pan in the oven.
• Roast the pork chops for 10 minutes, until the internal temperature is 140ºF. It may take less time. Berkshire pork is best at this temperature, which is lower than the USDA recommended temperature of 160ºF. If you are a concerned person, then you are better off sticking with 160ºF.

• Take the pan out of the oven, remove the pork chops and keep warm.

• Add the demi-glace, any juices in the bowl from the reserved pork, and salt and pepper. Reduce for minute or two until it is nice and thick.
• Spoon the sauce and apples over the pork chops and serve.
