Yield 5

2 tablespoons butter
⅛ yellow onion, minced
1 Granny Smith apple - peeled, cored and diced
2 stalks celery ribs, finely chopped
¼ cup dried cranberries
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Tips:

  • Choose thick pork chops: This will help them stay juicy during cooking and prevent them from drying out.
  • Stuffing the pork chops: Use a sharp knife to make a pocket in each pork chop. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Don't overstuff the pork chops: You want to be able to close the pocket without the stuffing spilling out. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1/4 cup of stuffing per pork chop.
  • Use a flavorful stuffing: The stuffing is what will give the pork chops their flavor, so make sure to use something that you enjoy. Apple and sausage stuffing, bread and herb stuffing, or wild rice stuffing are all good options.
  • Cook the pork chops over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pork chops: They are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat and make them more tender.

Conclusion:

Apple-stuffed pork loin 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 adds a sweet and tart flavor that complements the pork perfectly. This dish is sure to become a favorite in your home.
