Steps

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.
• Dredge the pork chops in flour, shaking off any excess.
• In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until browned.
• Remove the pork chops from the skillet and transfer them to a baking dish.
• In the same skillet, add the sliced apples and chopped shallots. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened.
• Add the Calvados to the skillet and let it simmer for a minute to cook off the alcohol.
• Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes.
• Pour the sauce over the pork chops in the baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the pork chops are cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.

Tips
