Step 1
Pat pork cutlets dry. Place between plastic wrap and pound thin with a mallet until about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 2
Set up a breading station: flour in one shallow bowl, beaten eggs in another, panko in a third.
Step 3
Coat each cutlet in flour, tap off excess, dip in egg, then press into panko until fully coated on both sides.
Step 4
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Sear breaded cutlets 2 minutes per side until golden brown and edges curl. Transfer to a plate.
Step 5
Dice apple small and add to the same skillet with 1 tbsp butter. Stir over medium heat until softened, about 90 seconds.
Step 6
Stir in mustard and 2 tbsp water, warming through until glossy, about 30 seconds. Spoon sauce over schnitzel and serve hot.
