Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Heat olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat and sear pork cubes until browned on all sides.
Remove pork and sauté onions until translucent, then add garlic for 1 minute.
Pour in chicken broth and scrape the pan bottom to release browned bits.
Return pork to the pan and surround with apple chunks and fresh sage.
Cover with a lid or foil and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours until pork is tender.
Remove lid, increase oven heat to 375°F, and bake for another 20 minutes to brown the top.
Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving.
