Ingredients
  • 1 pound thin boneless pork chops
  • Wheat flour, enough to coat
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 apple, cored and cut into large dice
  • 1/2 cup apple juice
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 handful fresh sage leaves, sliced
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and black pepper
Cooking Steps
  1. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, then coat all sides lightly with flour.
  2. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork chops and apple. Cook until the chops are golden and cooked through, about 2–3 minutes per side. Move the pork to a plate.
  3. Keep the skillet over medium heat. Add the apple juice and water to the apples. Boil, stirring, until the liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
  4. In a small skillet, melt the remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add sage and cook until the butter just begins to brown. Remove immediately from the heat.
  5. Stir the cream into the apple mixture. Return the pork chops to the skillet to reheat and coat with sauce.
  6. Top with the crispy sage and serve.
