1. 1Pat pork chop dry.
2. 2Season with salt, pepper, and your favorite spice.
3. 3In a large frying pan, wait for the oil to get really hot.
4. 4Add pork chops.
5. 5Cook for about 3 minutes per side.
6. 6Remove from the pan and loosely cover with foil.
7. 7Do a quick temperature check or cut into one chop (the temperature should be less than 145°F and/or the inside of the chop should be still a little pink)
8. 8In the same pan, heat the butter until bubbly.
9. 9Add apples, onions, garlic, sage, and rosemary.
10. 10Cook for about 4 minutes while stirring and occasionally turning the apple pieces.
11. 11Add chicken stock, heavy cream, and Dijon mustard.
12. 12Reduce heat.
13. 13Let simmer until the sauce starts to thicken, about 10 minutes (if the sauce reduces too quickly, add some more chicken stock or water; if it won’t thicken, add some apple sauce).
14. 14Taste and add more salt and/or pepper as needed.
15. 15Add pork chops back into the pan and baste with the sauce for about 5 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 145°F.
16. 16Serve with a French baguette.
