PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES
These moist tender chops get delicious flavor from Dijon mustard, onions and apple slices. Or try replacing the apples with pineapple rings for an appealing variation. I like to serve mashed sweet potatoes with this main course, along with a simple salad.

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.
CIDER-DIJON PORK CHOPS WITH ROASTED SWEET POTATOES AND APPLES
Sautéing is another fast way to make a meal, especially when the pan juices are turned into a sweet and savory sauce, as they are here. This comforting dish features an array of autumn ingredients-apples, fennel, and sweet potatoes-roasted in the oven to caramelize lightly and bring their sugars to the forefront. The sauce, which mingles apple cider with the meaty browned bits in the skillet, is sharpened with a bit of Dijon mustard to balance the sweetness.

Steps:
- 1. Remove the pork from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature while the oven preheats. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place a large rimmed baking sheet in the oven and heat until very hot.
- 2. To cook the vegetables and apples: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes, apples, fennel, and rosemary with the olive oil to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and spread the vegetables and apples on it. Roast, turning the ingredients over halfway through, for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are nicely browned and tender.
- 3. Meanwhile, cook the pork: Season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, then add the chops to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and barely pink when pierced in the center with the tip of a small sharp knife. Transfer to a platter (reserving the oil in the skillet) and let stand for 5 minutes.
- 4. Pour off all but 1 teaspoon of the oil from the skillet, leaving the brown bits in the pan. Return the pan to medium-low heat, add the apple cider, and bring to a simmer, scraping up the brown bits with a wooden spoon. Whisk in the mustard and simmer for about 2 minutes to reduce the liquid slightly. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter to lightly thicken the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- 5. Divide the sweet potato mixture among four dinner plates. Place a pork chop alongside the vegetables on each plate. Drizzle with the pan sauce and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm and smooth sweet potatoes with no blemishes. Avoid any that are soft, wrinkled, or have sprouts.
- Cook the sweet potatoes properly: Mashed sweet potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but not mushy. Boiling is the most common method, but you can also roast or steam them.
- Use good quality pork chops: Look for pork chops that are thick and evenly cut. Bone-in pork chops are more flavorful but take longer to cook.
- Season the pork chops well: Pork chops should be seasoned with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices before cooking. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Sear the pork chops in a hot skillet: Searing the pork chops in a hot skillet will help to create a nice crust and lock in the juices.
- Finish cooking the pork chops in the oven: After searing the pork chops, transfer them to a baking dish and finish cooking them in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that they are cooked through.
- Make a flavorful cider gravy: Cider gravy is a classic accompaniment to pork chops. To make it, simply combine apple cider, chicken broth, and cornstarch in a saucepan and cook until thickened.
- Sauté the apples and onions: Sautéing apples and onions in butter is a great way to add sweetness and flavor to the dish. Be sure to cook them until they are softened but still have a bit of bite.
Conclusion:
Mashed sweet potatoes with pork chops, cider gravy, sautéed apples, and onions is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a fall meal. The sweet potatoes are creamy and flavorful, the pork chops are juicy and tender, and the cider gravy is rich and flavorful. The sautéed apples and onions add a touch of sweetness and crunch to the dish. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
