Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup/120 ml apple cider or juice, plus more if needed
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Salt
2 boneless, center-cut loin pork chops, about 3/4 in/2 cm thick
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium sweet potato, about 1/2 lb/225 g, peeled and very thinly sliced
1 Braeburn, Gala, or other sweet-tart apple, cored and thinly sliced
1 shallot, minced
1 tsp Dijon mustard, smooth or whole-grain (see "it's that easy")
2 tsp minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the cider, cinnamon and 1/4 tsp salt in a cup. Set aside.
  • 2. Pat the pork chops dry and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper.
  • 3. Heat a 12-in/30.5-cm skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil shimmers, add the seasoned pork chops to the pan and cook until lightly browned on the first side, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook until browned on the second side, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer the pork chops to a plate. (They will not be cooked through at this point.)
  • 4. Add the sweet potato, apple, shallot, cider mixture, and a grind or two of pepper to the hot pan. Bring it all to a simmer, cover, and reduce the heat to medium-low or low-the pan should bubble, but not too aggressively. Cook the potato mixture until a fork easily pierces the partially cooked potato but there is still some resistance, about 10 minutes.
  • 5. Return the pork chops to the pan (along with any juices accumulated on the plate) and nestle them into the potatoes and apples. Cover and cook until the meat is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, about 8 minutes longer. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • 6. Transfer the pork chops, potatoes, and apples to two warmed plates. There should be some liquid remaining in the pan to serve as a base for the sauce. (If the potatoes have absorbed all of the liquid, add 2 to 3 tbsp cider to the pan and heat it briefly over medium heat.) Stir the mustard into the pan juices with a fork. Taste the sauce and add more pepper if it needs it.
  • 7. Spoon the sauce over the meat and vegetables, sprinkle the parsley over the top, and serve hot.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs apples, quartered, cored, peeled and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon butter, unsalted
4 pork loin chops, about 3/4 inch thick, trimmed of excess fat
coarse salt
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup heavy cream (or 1/2 cup low-fat yogurt or 1/2 cup low-fat sour cream and 1/2 cup low-fat milk)
1/3 cup Dijon mustard (or (to taste)
fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Spread the apples in a lightly buttered gratin dish, large enough to hold the pork chops in a single layer.
  • Place gratin dish in the oven and bake apples for 15 minutes.
  • 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.
