Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- In a large heavy skillet, over medium-high heat, melt half of the butter. Fry the pork chops on both sides until a nice golden color. Transfer the chops to a 2 quart casserole dish with a lid, and sprinkle with thyme.
- Melt the remaining butter in the pan, and fry the onion and garlic until tender. Transfer them to the casserole dish. Fry the apple rings in the pan for a few seconds on each side to give them color, then remove to the casserole dish. Sprinkle with sugar.
- Spoon any excess fat from the frying pan and pour in the apple cider. Stir to remove any flavorful bits from the bottom. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then pour over the pork chops and apples in the dish. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake the casserole, covered for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through. Remove the pork chops and apples to a serving platter and stir the cream into the juices. Serve sauce over pork chops.

18TH CENTURY DRUNKEN ENGLISH SOMERSET CIDER CHICKEN WITH HONEY
A delicious 18th Century recipe from the county of Somerset; Somerset is the home of England's most notorious cider, 'scrumpy', a seemingly innocent drink to the unwary! However, cider makes an excellent substitute for wine in cooking and tenderises the meat beautifully. The addition of honey blends extremly well with the cider, and adds a complexity to this easily baked chicken dish. Serve with steamed greens and baked or mashed potatoes.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality chicken: For the best flavor and texture, use organic or free-range chicken, if possible.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet: This will help prevent the chicken from sticking and burning.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you're cooking multiple pieces of chicken, make sure there's enough space between them so they can cook evenly.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit before you remove it from the heat.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Somerset chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its crispy skin, tender meat, and flavorful sauce, Somerset chicken is sure to be a hit at your next meal.
