Servings: persons

1 1/2 cups apple cider
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1 cinnamon stick
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
2 large shallots, minced (about 1/2 cup)
1 tart apple, such as Granny Smith, cored, peeled, and diced small
1/4 cup apple brandy or 1/4 cup calvados
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leave
table salt
ground black pepper

1
Combine cider, broth, vinegar, and cinnamon stick in medium saucepan; simmer over medium-high heat until liquid is reduced to 1 cup, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove cinnamon stick and discard. Set sauce aside until pork is cooked.
2
Put 1 tablespoon butter in a clean skillet and heat over medium heat until melted and foaming subsides. Add shallot and apple and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and add Calvados. Return skillet to heat and cook about 1 minute, scraping bottom with wooden spoon to loosen browned bits.
3
Add reduced cider mixture, any juices from resting meat, and thyme; increase heat to medium-high and simmer until thickened and reduced to 1 1/4 cups, 3 to 4 minutes. Off heat, whisk in remaining 3 tablespoons butter, and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper. Pour sauce over pork and serve immediately.
