Why this recipe works
Start apple wedges before the meat
Two meat servings with sauce without rice or potatoes. Use a dish about 20 × 14 cm that holds a shallow layer. A firm tart apple holds shape better than very soft fruit.

1
Prepare
Slice apple into narrow wedges and onion finely, place in dish with half the oil. Trim pork and cut medallions about 1.5 cm thick; keep chilled. Use a heatproof dish suitable for the appliance, leaving space around it for airflow. Do not preheat with loose paper.

Precook and drain
If required by the manufacturer, preheat for 3 minutes at 180 °C. Precook apple and onion about 8 minutes at 180 °C, stirring gently once. They should begin softening, not collapse.
-
3
Cook
Coat meat with remaining oil, salt and pepper and add flat. Cook about 10 minutes at 180 °C, turning once. Add mixed cream and mustard and heat about another 5 minutes at 170 °C. Measure meat. Check that the thickest part reaches at least 70 °C for 2 minutes; continue cooking if needed.

4
Check and serve
Gently stir sauce and serve with apple and pork. Without flour it stays fairly fluid. Extend meat cooking if needed rather than relying on bubbling sauce.
