Creamy Apple Pork Chops are a wholesome meal your whole family will enjoy. Mushrooms, apples, juicy pork chops in a savory cream sauce. I can't think of pork chops and not associate them with"the other white meat" campaign. Season pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper.

Instructions to make Pork Chops with cider, apple, mushrooms & crème fraîche:
  1. Pre-heat oven to Gas Mark 5 or electric equivalent (Circotherm 160C)
  2. Melt one knob of butter in a frying pan and brown the chops on both sides, then transfer to a casserole and add the rosemary and thyme.
  3. Melt the second knob of butter in the same frying pan and on a medium heat fry the shallot and red onion for 3 minutes, only stirring to avoid sticking.
  4. Add the garlic and fry for a further minute, stirring gently but occasionally. Add the mushrooms and pepper and continue to fry gently, stirring, for a further 2-3 minutes or until the vegetables are softened but not burned.
  5. Add the contents of the frying pan to the casserole. If necessary, melt a little more butter and then very quickly fry the apple on a high heat just to sear them. Add them and any remaining butter to the casserole.
  6. Add the cider and sugar to the casserole, stir and bring to a boil. Season to taste and put the casserole, covered, into the oven for 35-45 minutes or until the chops are cooked. There should be ample liquid but check after 20 or so minutes to ensure that it’s not going dry. Add a little more cider if but only if needed.
  7. Gently but thoroughly stir in the crème fraîche and mustard and serve piping hot onto warmed plates with the accompaniments of your choice. Today we had parsnip mash, carrots and Brussels Sprouts - a goodly plateful!

I can't think of pork chops and not associate them with"the other white meat" campaign. Season pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper. Add the chops back into the pan, and nestle them among the apples and onions, along with the remaining whole apples. Pork chops with a glossy apple cider glaze is really easy, and while there's no starch or extra butter involved, it reduces quickly to a thick, rich, sweet-tart apple syrup. Pour in the cider, then turn the heat down to the lowest possible simmer.
