Irresistible Apple Stuffed Pork Chops Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon chopped onion
• 0.25 cup butter
• 3 cups fresh bread crumbs
• 2 cups chopped apples
• 0.25 cup chopped celery
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 6 (1 1/4 inch) thick pork chops
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for baking.
2. In a large skillet, sauté the onion in butter or margarine until softened. Take the skillet off the heat. Mix in the bread crumbs, apples, celery, parsley, and salt until well combined. Create a large pocket in each pork chop by cutting through the side; season the inside and outside with salt and pepper according to your preference. Carefully spoon the apple mixture into the pockets, ensuring not to overstuff.
3. In the same skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat and sear the pork chops until browned on both sides. Transfer the browned chops to an ungreased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes, or until the juices run clear, indicating that the pork is fully cooked.
