Few pork recipes are as easy and tasty as this New England-style dish. If you can't find pork loin cutlets in your supermarket, you can use thin boneless pork chops instead. Mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables or a tossed salad will round out the meal nicely.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 cup bread crumbs

• 4 pork loin cutlets (about 1 pound)
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup apple cider
• 2 medium Golden Delicious or Granny Smith apples, each cored and cut into 16 wedges

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, stir together the maple syrup, mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined. Place the bread crumbs in a large ziplock bag, add the pork, then seal the bag and shake it to coat the cutlets.

2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook it for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Add the cider and apple wedges. Bring the cider to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 5 to 7 minutes or until the pork is done. Stir in the maple syrup mixture and cook the pork for 5 minutes more or until the pan sauces are thick and syrupy. Makes 4 servings.
