Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
• ½ cup apple juice
• 4 pork chops
• 1 large apple - peeled, cored, and thinly sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine oil, thyme, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Add pork chops, brush with the marinade, and set aside for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook pork chops until browned on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until lightly browned on the other side and juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer pork chops to a serving plate, cover, and keep warm.

Step 3

Reduce heat and add butter to the skillet. Add apple slices and cook until they start to change color, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer apples to the plate with the pork chops and keep warm.

Step 4

Stir apple juice, cream, and cornstarch together in a bowl. Add to the skillet over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil while scraping brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook and stir until sauce starts to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour sauce over pork chops and apples.
