Ingredients
-
2 lbs apples, quartered, cored, peeled and thinly sliced
-
1 tablespoon butter, unsalted
-
4 pork loin chops, about 3/4 inch thick, trimmed of excess fat
-
coarse salt
-
1/4 cup dry white wine
-
1 cup heavy cream (or 1/2 cup low-fat yogurt or 1/2 cup low-fat sour cream and 1/2 cup low-fat milk)
-
1/3 cup Dijon mustard (or (to taste)
-
fresh ground pepper
Instructions
- 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.
