This is a delicious, hearty, easy-to-make, one-pot meal that's perfect for a chilly fall or winter evening; it may even take over the coveted St. Patrick's Day dinner role if you don't feel like cooking corned beef. This recipe is also extremely versatile: It's terrific with sage instead of dill if that's what you'd prefer. We like using savoy cabbage since it's a more tender and looser leaf cabbage than regular green cabbage. If you use green cabbage since that's all you've got on hand, just increase the steaming time by a few minutes. Also, if you can’t find baby red potatoes, simply cut 1 pound of red potatoes into 12 chunks, or use baby Yukon Gold potatoes instead.

Instructions
1
Fill a large, deep skillet with a small amount of water; set a steamer basket on top and bring to a boil. Steam potatoes until almost tender, about 6 minutes. Add cabbage wedges and steam until potatoes and cabbage are both tender, about 3 to 4 minutes more. Drain and remove potatoes and cabbage to a serving platter; cover to keep warm.
2
Drain and carefully dry skillet. Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork with 1 tablespoon dill, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; gently press to adhere seasonings to pork.
3
Add pork to skillet and cook, turning once, until golden and just cooked through, about 6 to 7 minutes; remove to serving platter.
4
Add apples to skillet; sauté 1 minute. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together broth, cider, flour and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Add broth mixture to skillet and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 2 minutes. Stir in scallions; simmer until sauce is slightly thickened and apples are tender, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; whisk in mustard and remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons dill.
5
Lift apples with a slotted spoon onto platter; spoon sauce over top and garnish with remaining chopped dill or dill sprigs. Yields about 1 pork chop, 3 potatoes, 1 cabbage wedge, 3 apple slices and 1/4 cup sauce per serving.
