APPLE SAUSAGE STUFF PORK CHOPS
You can make your own stuffing and use for this recipe I just typically use Stove Top Pork Flavored. I try to always use unflavored/unseasoned Pork Sausage. I typically use Granny Smith Apples for this recipe but any kind of apple works just use your favorite kind. For the Cajun Seasoning I usually use Emeril's Essence.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven for 400 degrees.
- Cut a 'pocket' in each of your Pork Chops were the 'stuffing mixture' will eventually go.
- Seasoning the Pork Chops to your liking w/ the Cajun Seasoning. Sear the Pork Chops for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side on med-high heat. Just enough to get a nice quick brown to them. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl combined your already prepared stuffing, the cooked diced up pork sausage, the apples, raisins, and green onions. To add some moisture to the mixture gradually mix in the apple juice. Seasoning the entire mixture w/ Cajun Season (Emeril's Essence) and Parsley. I tend to season heavy w/ the Cajun Seasoning.
- Place your Pork Chops in a glass casserole dish. Open the precut pockets in the pork and stuff each pork chop w/ the stuffing mixture. Place the remaining stuffing around the Pork chops.
- Bake at 400 degrees in a glass casserole dish until the meat is no longer pink (about 1 hour- 1 1/2 hrs). If the stuffing starts to get too dry before the meat is done cooking just pour some additional apple juice on it.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE STUFFED PORK CHOP
Steps:
- Stuffing: In large a rondeau or heavy bottomed pot over medium-low heat, add butter and olive oil, then sweat onion, celery and garlic until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add sausage, and allow it to cook through, stirring often. Add spinach and toasted croutons. Mix well then add chicken stock, cream and parsley. Cook until thickens. Add cheese and season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Allow stuffing to cool.
- Pork Chops: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Make a 1-inch incision with a knife right next to the bone of the pork chop. Work the knife inside the pork chop to make a pocket for the stuffing. With a piping tool or simply with your hands, stuff the pork chop with the stuffing mixture until the pocket is packed well. Season the pork chop with salt and black pepper. Heat a large skillet and add oil. Sear both sides, about 1 minute. Place skillet in oven to roast for about 10 to 12 minutes, turning chops over half way through so as not to burn. Cook pork chop to medium, and the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Anything more than medium may dry out the chop.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large saute pan over medium heat, saute the sausage until no longer pink. Remove the sausage (leave in the fat), and set aside. To the pan, add the onion, celery, and apple and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until the apple is no longer crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook an additional couple of minutes. Remove from the heat, stir the sausage back in and set aside.
- In a food processor, pulse the bread with the sage, rosemary, and thyme into coarse crumbs.
- Heat the butter in a medium saute pan and cook the crumbs over medium-high heat until coated with butter and lightly toasted, about 3 minutes (be careful not to burn). Mix the breadcrumbs into the sausage mixture.
- Prepare the roast as if making a jellyroll. Place the roast with the short side toward you, and fat facing down toward the counter or cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice the roast open at about 1/2-inch from the bottom of the roast (parallel to the cutting board), being careful not to cut all the way through. Continue cutting, unrolling the roast as you work until you have a large, thin piece of meat. Place the rolled out piece of meat between 2 sheets of waxed or parchment paper, and lightly pound with meat mallet to increase the meat surface area by 10 to 20 percent. Be careful not to pound through the meat. Salt and pepper the pork and top with the filling, spreading evenly across the pork, leaving a 1-inch margin around the perimeter.
- Starting with the short side, roll up tightly jellyroll style, and secure the roast with kitchen twine.
- Heat a large saute pan over medium heat and add oil. Add the roast and brown on all sides. Place in a roasting pan fitted with a rack and add the wine in the bottom of the pan (to keep the juices from burning), and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the internal temperature hits 145 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove the roast from the oven and allow to rest for a full 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

To compliment this dish, serve it with light side dishes such as Recipe #251321, and Recipe #260696, and topped with some decorative fresh parsley. Your kitchen will be filled with aromatics all day! A great way to ensure tender and moist chops is to soak them in a brine of 1 cup milk to 1/2 Tbs salt for at least 1 hour before using in a recipe.

Tips:
- To ensure that the pork chops are cooked evenly throughout, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the doneness of the pork chops by making a small incision in the center of the chop. If the juices run clear, the chops are cooked through.
- To prevent the apples from browning too quickly, toss them in a little bit of lemon juice before adding them to the skillet.
- If you don't have apple cider on hand, you can use chicken broth or white wine as a substitute.
- Be sure to season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chops.
- For a more flavorful stuffing, use a variety of different types of apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady.
- Serve the stuffed pork chops with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
Apple-stuffed pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork chops are juicy and flavorful, and the apple stuffing is sweet and savory. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
