Preheat the oven to 200°C (gas mark 6).

Peel and chop the potatoes into thick chunks.

Boil the potatoes for around 15 to 20 minutes until tender.

Mash the potatoes with butter and milk, keep warm and set aside.

Rub the pork chops with olive oil.

Fry the pork chops in a hot pan for around 2 minutes on each side or until browned, making sure to brown the fat as well.

Transfer the pork chops into a roasting tin.

Take the unpeeled apples, cut each into eight, and add them to the pork juices in the roasting tin.

Spoon the apples and juices over the pork, scatter with Rosemary, and season.

Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until the pork is cooked.

Transfer the pork to a plate, cover with foil, and leave to rest.

Return the apples to the oven for a further 5 to 7 minutes until tender.

Shred the kale and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until just tender.

Drain the kale and fold it into the mashed potatoes.

Toss the salad onions and season well, keeping warm.

Transfer the apples to the plate with the pork and cover.

Put the roasting tin back on the hob, add the dry cider, and bring it to a boil.

Allow the cider to bubble for around 3 to 4 minutes and stir until it's reduced by half.

Stir in the creme fresh and Dijon mustard, season, and pour over the pork with the apples and kale mash to serve.
