PORK CHOPS WITH SAVORY APPLE STUFFING

Pork Chops With Savory Apple Stuffing image

This is an easy and delicious way to serve pork chops--another of my favorite warm and hearty comfort foods. The pork chops turn out juicy and are complimented by the stuffing flavored with apples, garlic, onions and savory seasonings. In my opinion, homemade stuffing rivals any store-bought mix. The stuffing under the pork chops is moistened and flavored by the meat juices while the stuffing on the surface is crispy and buttery--my favorite part! If you desire all of your stuffing to be moist, cover the baking pan with aluminum foil while in the oven. Enjoy!

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

4 pork chops, bone-in
1/3 cup butter
1 cup onion, chopped (about 1 medium)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup mcintosh apple, peeled and chopped (about 2 medium)
6 cups unseasoned dry bread cubes
1 teaspoon ground sage
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups chicken broth

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Cook onion and garlic for 5-8 minutes or until translucent but not browned. Add chopped apple during last 1 minute of cooking time.
In a large mixing bowl, combine bread cubes, sage, thyme, salt and pepper.
Pour onion/garlic/apple mixture over bread cube mixture and stir until incorporated.
Stir chicken broth one cup at a time into bread cube mixture until bread cubes are moistened to your satisfaction. If not moist enough, add more to your preference.
In a 9" x 13" baking pan, spread half of the stuffing mixture evenly.
Season pork chops with salt and pepper to taste. Nestle each pork chop into stuffing mixture (do not overlap chops).
Spoon remaining stuffing atop each pork chop, covering each evenly.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until chops are done or juices run clear when pierced with a fork.

Tips:

Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will ensure that the chops stay moist and juicy during cooking.
Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade helps to tenderize the pork chops and infuse them with flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that contains acidic ingredients, such as lemon juice or vinegar, to help break down the proteins in the meat.
Cook the pork chops over medium heat: Cooking the pork chops over medium heat will help to prevent them from drying out. Be sure to use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chops are cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the pork chops rest before serving: Letting the pork chops rest before serving will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop.

Conclusion:

Savory apple pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your pork chops turn out perfectly cooked and flavorful every time.
