1 Tbsp oil
Salt and pepper
2 Tbsp butter
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 tart apple, cored and thinly sliced
1/2 cup apple cider
1-1/2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer pork to platter and tent
with foil to keep warm.

Add butter to skillet and melt over medium heat. Add onion and apple
and saute 5 minutes. Mix in cider, vinegar and bay leaf; cover and
