Pork Chops With Apples and Thyme

Ingredients

3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth, divided
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons canola oil
16 ounces boneless pork loin chops, (4 4-ounce chops), 1/2 inch thick, trimmed of fat
1 small onion, sliced
1 medium Granny Smith apple (or any tart apple), peeled and sliced
1/4 cup organic apple cider, or organic apple juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
Preparation
1. Mix 2 tablespoons broth and cornstarch in a small bowl.

2. Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add chops and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

3. Reduce heat to medium-high and add onion to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until it starts to soften and brown, 2 to 3 minutes.

4. Add apple and cook, stirring often, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining broth, cider (or juice), mustard, thyme and the cornstarch mixture.

5. Bring to a boil, stirring, until thickened and glossy, about 1 minute. Return the chops to the pan and heat through. Serve immediately.
