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.

SMOKED PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES
I was looking for something new to do with some smoked pork chops and I found a recipe on cooks.com that I altered slightly. The original called for cranberry-apple drink rather than cider. The glaze never really thickened for me, but it the chops were still delicious. I used MacIntosh apples, unpeeled. My kids and husband cleaned their plates and my husband has already requested that I make it again.

Tips:
- Choose thick-cut pork chops (at least 1 inch thick) for best results.
- Use a good quality apple that will hold its shape when cooked, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
- If you don't have an apple, you can substitute another fruit that pairs well with pork, such as pears or peaches.
- Sweet potatoes can be cooked in the same pan as the pork chops, or they can be roasted separately in the oven.
- If you're using the grill, cook the pork chops over indirect heat to prevent them from drying out.
- Baste the pork chops with the apple cider vinegar mixture every few minutes to keep them moist.
- Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
