3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
1/2 cup granny smith apple, finely chopped
1/2 cup mushroom, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups herb stuffing mix (Pepperidge Farm)
14 ounces chicken broth
5 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped (or 1/2 tsp rubbed sage)
6 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped, divided
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
6 pork chops, 2-inch thick bone-in center-cut

Steps:

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and next 3 ingredients, Sauté 10 minutes or until vegetables are tender and liquid evaporates.

Cook chops in remaining 2 tablespoons hot oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, in batches, 2 minutes on each side or until browned.

These pork chops were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add more liquid to the stuffing next time.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of apples in savory dishes, but I was pleasantly surprised. The apples added a nice sweetness to the pork chops.
