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.

PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES AND ONIONS

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork chops and cook in the hot oil until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove pork from the skillet.
• Add onion to the skillet and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add apples; cook and stir for 2 more minutes. Stir in apple juice, brown sugar, and reserved spice mixture; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until pork is longer pink in the center, and reaches desired level of doneness, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
