• Place pork chops in the same skillet; cook over medium heat until pork chops are browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
• Mix applesauce, brown sugar, mustard, and cinnamon into onion and apple mixture.
• Place pork chops in a 9x9-inch baking dish; season with salt and black pepper. Spoon applesauce mixture over pork chops; cover dish.

PORK CASSEROLE WITH APPLES AND CIDER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
• In a large ovenproof saucepan over medium heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. Working in batches to avoid crowding the meat, add the pork chunks and brown on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer the pork to a bowl, cover, and repeat with any remaining pork, adding oil if needed.
• Add the bacon to the pan and cook, stirring as needed, until crisp, about 12 minutes.
• Stir in the onion, celery, and garlic, and cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle the flour over the ingredients in the pan and stir to ensure it's well incorporated into the onion mixture. (If you prefer a thinner sauce, use 1 tablespoon flour; for a thicker sauce, use 2 tablespoons.) Then pour in the cider.
• In a spice bag or a cheesecloth pouch, combine the thyme, bay leaves, cloves, star anise, and cinnamon stick.☞TESTER TIP: The spice bag or cheesecloth isn't essential. It simply makes for easier removal of the spices and herbs later on. If you don't have one, don't worry, just toss the herbs and spices into the pan...just don't forget to retrieve them later.
• Add the vinegar, apple, mustard, maple syrup, and spice mixture to the saucepan. Return the browned pork to the pan, pouring in any cooking juices that accumulated in the bowl, and stir to combine.
• Transfer the casserole to the oven and cook, uncovered, until the pork is very tender, about 90 minutes.
• Remove and discard the spice pouch or cheesecloth and season the casserole with salt and pepper to taste. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
