Be sure to brown the chops well so they'll give the mustardy pan sauce deep flavor. Becky Luigart Stayner Ingredients 4 (6- to 8-oz.) bone-in pork rib chops (1 to 1 ¼ inches thick) 1 teaspoon kosher salt ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 Granny Smith apples, cut into ½-inch-thick wedges 1 medium-size yellow onion, thinly sliced (root end intact) ⅓ cup chicken broth 1 cup whipping cream ¼ cup Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons bourbon 8 small fresh thyme sprigs Directions Preheat oven to 450°F. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Cook in hot oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from skillet. Add apples and onion to skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes or until browned. Remove from skillet. Add broth to skillet, and cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring to loosen browned bits from bottom of skillet. Whisk together cream and mustard; add to skillet, and cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes or until bubbly. Remove skillet from heat, and stir in bourbon. Add pork, turning to coat, and top with apples, onions, and thyme. Bake at 450°F for 10 minutes or until liquid is just beginning to bubble. Let stand in skillet 5 minutes before serving.
