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:

Use a variety of apples: Different types of apples offer different flavors and textures. For this recipe, consider using a mix of sweet and tart apples, such as Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Braeburn.
Slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the pork chops, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can brown properly.
Use a flavorful cooking oil: Olive oil or butter are both good choices for this recipe.
Season the pork chops generously: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt and pepper to the pork chops before cooking. This will help to enhance their flavor.
Cook the pork chops over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from drying out.
Don't overcook the pork chops: Pork chops are best when they are cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the pork chops rest before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making them more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Savory apple pork chops are a simple yet delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet apples, savory pork, and crispy onions is sure to please everyone at the table. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover apples. Serve with a side of mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
