Instructions

Preheat a large pot over medium-high heat.

While the pot heats up, pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and place on a plate; season with salt and pepper on both sides.

Once the pot is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Working in batches if necessary, add chops and cook until golden, about 2 minutes per side (they will not be cooked all the way through). Transfer to a clean plate. (Reserve pot with drippings for later use.)

Meanwhile, wash, dry, quarter, and core apples; slice into ¼-inch thick wedges. Place in a medium bowl.

Peel, halve, and slice onions crosswise into thin half-moons. Peel and mince garlic. Add both to the bowl with the apple.

Return the pot (with drippings) to medium-high heat, add more oil, and swirl to coat the bottom. Add apple, onion, garlic, and spices. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4-5 minutes. (Reserve bowl for the next step.)

While the apple and onion are cooking, place pumpkin, broth, and cream in the reserved bowl. Whisk to combine.

When the apple and onion are soft, add pumpkin mixture to the pot and stir to combine. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens slightly, 3-4 minutes more.

Return pork to the pot and use a spoon to coat in sauce; reduce heat to medium-low and cover with a lid. Simmer until pork is cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat.

Meanwhile, place oil, vinegar, Dijon, maple syrup, and spices in a large bowl. Whisk to combine the dressing.

Wash and dry the mixed greens (skip this step if they came pre-washed). Add to the bowl with the dressing, along with cranberries, and toss to combine the salad.

Divide pork, apples, and sauce between plates or bowls. Serve with salad on the side and enjoy!
