2. Melt one knob of butter in a frying pan and brown the chops on both sides, then transfer to a casserole and add the rosemary and thyme..
3. Melt the second knob of butter in the same frying pan and on a medium heat fry the shallot and red onion for 3 minutes, only stirring to avoid sticking..
4. Add the garlic and fry for a further minute, stirring gently but occasionally. Add the mushrooms and pepper and continue to fry gently, stirring, for a further 2-3 minutes or until the vegetables are softened but not burned..
5. Add the contents of the frying pan to the casserole. If necessary, melt a little more butter and then very quickly fry the apple on a high heat just to sear them. Add them and any remaining butter to the casserole..
6. Add the cider and sugar to the casserole, stir and bring to a boil. Season to taste and put the casserole, covered, into the oven for 35-45 minutes or until the chops are cooked.
