Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Prep the apples

    Peel the apples, remove the cores and cut them into small cubes. Set them aside in a bowl.

  2. Cook the apples

    In the saucepan, melt 10 g of butter over medium heat. Add the diced apples and dried thyme. Cover and let them cook down for 10 min, stirring now and then.

  3. Prep the potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into 2 cm cubes. Drop them into the saucepan of cold salted water.

    Tip · To save time, you can peel and cut the potatoes while the apples cook down.

  4. Cook the potatoes

    Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 15 min until tender. Drain and set aside.

  5. Cook the green beans

    In the same saucepan (no need to rinse it), cook the frozen green beans with the remaining 5 g of butter over medium-high heat for 5 min, stirring.

  6. Cook the pork chops

    Lay the pork chops in the hot nonstick skillet. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook 4 min per side over medium heat so they stay slightly pink.

    Tip · If you like your meat more done, cook the pork chops 2 min longer per side, but be careful not to dry them out.

  7. Plate it up

    Divide the drained potatoes among the plates. Add the pork chops on top, then the green beans and finally the applesauce.
