Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and brown pork chops on both sides. Remove to plate and add apple slices to pan; cook, stirring for 2 minutes.
Whisk together broth, mustard and cornstarch; pour into skillet. Stir to coat apples. Return pork chops to skillet and cook, turning once, for about 3 minutes. Use a digital food thermometer to check that the pork has reached an internal temperature of 71 °C (160 °F).
