Set your fall celebration in the rolling hills of Northern France. Orchards and dairy farms dot the landscape of Normandy, where this dinner gets its inspiration. Seared pork chops are succulent in a deliciously rich and fruity sauce made with heavy cream, apple cider vinegar and apples (sautéed in butter, bien sûr!). Complete the mise en scène with a sharp side salad scattered with fresh chives, and focaccia toast (buttered, bien sûr!).
