Instructions

Glaze

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Simmer the apple cider in a small saucepan until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 5 to 7 minutes. Whisk in the whole-grain dijon, maple syrup, olive oil and minced garlic.

Assemble and bake

Core the apples and cut them into half-moon slices about 1/3 inch thick. Shingle them in one overlapping row along one side of an oval baking dish, peel edge against the rim.
Season the pork chops with salt and pepper and lay them along the opposite side, leaving a little space between each chop.
Fill the middle of the dish with the trimmed green beans.
Spoon the cider dijon glaze over everything and lay the thyme sprigs over the pork.
Scatter the shredded white cheddar over the whole dish.
Bake for 25 minutes, until the pork reaches 145°F inside and the cheese is golden. Rest 5 minutes and spoon the glaze from the dish over each serving.

Chef's Notes & Tips

Tip 1 of 2

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels before placing them in the baking dish to ensure they roast rather than steam, promoting a better crust.

Tip 2 of 2

For the best flavor, use a sharp aged white cheddar; it holds up better against the sweetness of the cider and maple glaze than a mild variety.
