Note
Use a sharp paring knife to carefully cut the pockets without slicing all the way through the chop.
If you prefer a milder sauce, you can substitute half of the apple brandy with extra apple cider or chicken broth.
Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove.
Ensure the veal reaches an internal temperature of 145F (63C) for safe consumption.
