Pork chops with apples and onions

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lb baby potatoes
• 4 boneless pork chops, about 1 inch thick
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 yellow onion, sliced
• 2 apples, cored and sliced
• 1/2 cup apple cider
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• Salt and black pepper

Steps

1. Boil the potatoes in salted water for 15 to 18 minutes, until tender. Drain.
2. Pat the chops dry and season them with the thyme, salt and pepper. Wash your hands.
3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the chops for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until they reach 145 °F inside.
4. Move the chops to a plate and let them rest for at least 3 minutes.
5. Lower the heat to medium and melt the butter in the pan. Cook the onion and apples for 6 to 8 minutes, until soft and golden.
6. Add the cider, vinegar and mustard and simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up the browned bits.
7. Spoon the apples and sauce over the chops and serve with the potatoes.
