Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Season pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Add pork chops to the skillet and cook until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Remove pork chops from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add butter and melt over medium heat.

Add sliced onion and garlic, sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Add sliced apples and cook until slightly caramelized, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in cider and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet.

Add fresh thyme and mustard, stirring to combine.

Return pork chops to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes until cooked through.

Check doneness with a meat thermometer, aiming for 145°F.

Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
