METHOD
Why It Works
Apples and Dijon balance the savory chops with sweet and tang. A quick pan sauce ties everything together in one skillet.
Quick Fixes
Sauce too sharp: stir in a touch of cream or honey.
Apples too soft: add them later so they keep some bite.

Avo's Tip
Use a firm apple like Honeycrisp so it holds its shape in the sauce.
