This is a quick and tasty dish that you can get onto the table in about 30-40 minutes. It is also a lovely way to cook pork chops to prevent them from drying out. The apples, mustard and onions create a lovely sauce to pour over the finished chops. It is best to use a tart variety of apple – maybe Granny Smiths.

You could also substitute apple cider or apple juice for some or all of the water to add even more flavour.

I prefer to use bone-in pork chops as I think the bone adds flavour while cooking but if you prefer boneless you can use those. Just remember to cook them for a few minutes less.
