Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.

Cut the Apples into quarters.

Peel the quarters and discard the core.

Turn the chops and continue cooking about 5 minutes.

Remove the chops, and add the quartered apples.

Cook about 2 minutes turning the apples often.

Remove the apples and pour off the fat from the skillet.

Add the shallots and vinegar and cook briefly, stirring with a wooden spoon.

Add the broth and honey.

Cook 1 minute and stir in the tomato paste.

Return the chops and apples to the skillet.

Spoon sauce over them, and cover closely.
