1
Melt butter or bacon grease in skillet. Put pork chops in pan and cook on each side until just golden (about 2-3 minutes per side). Put on plate and place in oven to keep warm.
2
Add additional tsp butter to pan and place apples in a single layer. Cook until they have browned slightly on each side. Set aside.
3
Remove pan from the heat and pour in one shot of brandy. Add apple cider and return to heat. Mix in a pinch of salt, a pinch of pepper, and 1 tsp of the minced sage. Scrap off any bits that might have stuck to the pan. Cook liquid until reduced by one-half.
4
Add cream, stir ingredients together, and simmer until the mixture becomes thickened and almost caramel-colored, about 5 minutes. Put the apples in a circle on the plates, letting them overlap. Place pork on top of apples. Pour cream sauce on top of pork and let it drip onto the apples. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 tsp of sage on top of dish.
