Steps:
- Slice into the pork chops horizontally, but not all the way through. (You're essentially butterflying the pork chops and giving them a little pouch.) Set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat up 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the garlic and onion and saute until fragrant and softened, about 3 minutes. Add the apple, carrots and celery and cook until softened, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Add in the cornbread, chicken broth and sage leaves, and stir to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the filling cool for 10 minutes.
- Carefully spoon the filling into the pork chops. If they become full and you can no longer stuff anymore, that's ok-save the filling to eat on the side. Use toothpicks to secure the chops shut. If the toothpicks poke out, use scissors to trim them flush to the pork chops.
- In the same skillet you used earlier, heat up the remaining tablespoon olive oil. Sear the pork chops, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Turn the heat down to medium and continue cooking, flipping occasionally, until the pork chops have cooked through completely, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm with the additional cornbread stuffing!
APPLE SAGE STUFFED PORK CHOPS
I found this recipe in an old recipe file a friend had. She'd never tried it but gave it to me. It's a little time consuming but well worth every minute. Although I've never frozen them, I bet they'd keep well for a quick dinner as this is easily doubled or tripled. This dish is a big hit with my family and friends. I usually make extra dressing for a side dish.

- Butterfly the pork chops: This will help the chops to cook evenly and will also make it easier to stuff them.
- Use a variety of stuffing ingredients: The possibilities are endless, but some popular options include apples, sage, onions, and cranberries.
- Season the pork chops generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices.
- Cook the pork chops over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from drying out.
