Steps:
- 1. Combine the cider, cinnamon and 1/4 tsp salt in a cup. Set aside.
- 2. Pat the pork chops dry and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper.
- 3. Heat a 12-in/30.5-cm skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil shimmers, add the seasoned pork chops to the pan and cook until lightly browned on the first side, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook until browned on the second side, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer the pork chops to a plate. (They will not be cooked through at this point.)
- 4. Add the sweet potato, apple, shallot, cider mixture, and a grind or two of pepper to the hot pan. Bring it all to a simmer, cover, and reduce the heat to medium-low or low-the pan should bubble, but not too aggressively. Cook the potato mixture until a fork easily pierces the partially cooked potato but there is still some resistance, about 10 minutes.
- 5. Return the pork chops to the pan (along with any juices accumulated on the plate) and nestle them into the potatoes and apples. Cover and cook until the meat is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, about 8 minutes longer. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- 6. Transfer the pork chops, potatoes, and apples to two warmed plates. There should be some liquid remaining in the pan to serve as a base for the sauce. (If the potatoes have absorbed all of the liquid, add 2 to 3 tbsp cider to the pan and heat it briefly over medium heat.) Stir the mustard into the pan juices with a fork. Taste the sauce and add more pepper if it needs it.
- 7. Spoon the sauce over the meat and vegetables, sprinkle the parsley over the top, and serve hot.

PORK CHOPS WITH SWEET MUSTARD SAUCE
I love mustard! The pickled onion rings are a nice side, but you can skip it for another type of condiment, like olives or pickles.

DELICIOUS TANGY PORK CHOPS
This is a variation of the 'Tangy Chicken' recipe here on Allrecipes.com. It's fast and easy. It makes the chops very juicy and tender. You may be put off by the lemon, but you really don't taste it that strong, it's overpowered by the Worcestershire Sauce. It seems the acid in the lemon helps make the more meat tender and helps the flavor soak in. The garlic is just a hint also, not too strong at all! Garlic powder could also be used.

Tips and Conclusion
Tips:
- For a more intense apple flavor, use a variety that is sweet and tart, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. - If you don't have Dijon mustard, you can substitute yellow mustard, but the flavor will be milder. - To make the sauce ahead of time, simply combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and let cool. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. - You can also grill the pork chops instead of pan-frying them. If you choose to grill, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the pork chops for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. - Serve the pork chops with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.Conclusion:
This recipe is a delicious and easy way to prepare pork chops. The sweet apples and tangy mustard create a flavorful sauce that is sure to please everyone at your table.
