Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup all-purpose flour
salt and pepper, to taste
¼ cup butter
4 (8 ounce) bone-in pork chops (1/2 inch thick)
½ pound mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon butter
½ cup brandy
½ cup apple cider
½ cup heavy cream
1 Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
