Core and slice pears into thick slices. Dice shallots.
Salt and pepper the pork chops liberally on each side.
Heat olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Saute the sliced pears and shallots for 3-5 minutes until the shallot has become fragrant and translucent. Add the honey, and mix in. Remove from pan.
To the hot pan add more oil if needed, sear the seasoned pork chops on each side for 5-7 minutes until they have formed a brown crust on each side.
Turn down the heat to medium low and pour in the apple juice and sage. Allow the pork chops to simmer for another 10-15 minutes until a thermometer reads 145ºF, or longer if you want it cooked through.
Add back in the pears and shallots spooning the pan juices over the pork chops as they come up to temperature for the last few minutes.
