Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe apples for the best flavor. Granny Smith apples are a good choice because they hold their shape well when cooked.
- Don't overcook the pork chops. They should be cooked through but still juicy. An instant-read thermometer is the best way to check the internal temperature of the pork chops.
- Make sure the cornbread stuffing is well-seasoned. You can adjust the amount of salt and pepper to your taste.
- If you don't have sage, you can substitute another herb, such as thyme or rosemary.
- Serve the pork chops immediately with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad are all good options.
