  • Combine apples, onion, and garlic in the skillet. Cook over medium-high 6 to 8 minutes or until the apples are golden, stirring occasionally. Carefully add wine; cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring to scrape up crusty brown bits. Stir in broth, mustard, and butter. Return the chops to the skillet. Simmer, covered, 4 to 6 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in the chops registers 145 degrees F.

  • Serve the chops and the apple mixture with rice. Sprinkle with thyme.
