Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and black pepper. Dredge them lightly in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear on both sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the golden mushrooms and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they start to brown and release their juices.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the sliced apples and fresh thyme, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the apples begin to soften slightly.
Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine (or chicken broth), scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, allowing the sauce to come to a gentle simmer. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce and ensuring they are surrounded by the apples and mushrooms. Cover and let cook on low heat for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
