Pork and Apples with Cider Cream Sauce

1. To prepare pork, place medallions in between sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or a heavy skillet, flatten each piece to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch. Remove plastic wrap and season both sides of medallions with salt and pepper.
2. Heat a 12-inch sauté pan or skillet over high heat. Add vegetable oil. When oil starts to smoke, place half the meat into pan and sauté on both sides until well browned and thoroughly cooked. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining meat.
3. To prepare apples, reheat pan over high heat. Add butter. When hot, add apples, shallots, rosemary, sugar and salt. Sauté until apples are golden brown and tender, about 8 minutes, shaking pan occasionally.
4. To prepare sauce, add cider, broth and rosemary to pan. Cook, whisking to scrape up any browned bits, over high heat, about 5 minutes. Add heavy cream; reduce heat to medium and simmer until mixture thickens to sauce consistency, 5 to 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper.
5. Return apples and pork to the pan. Simmer several minutes.
