1. Place the butter in a pan over low heat and let it melt while you're working with the apples.
Peel, core, then either slice or slice and chop the apples, and add them to the pan. Turn the heat to medium, and add the sugar, and stir until it begins to melt.
2. Add the rest of the compote ingredients, and stir to blend. Place the pork on top, and place a lid on it.
Let this cook for about 10 minutes, or, until the pork is warmed up. Your not cooking the pork, but warming it, so don't let it simmer too long, or you'll end up with dried out pork chops.
