For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the apple-cranberry stuffing. If you prefer a sweeter glaze, you can add an extra tablespoon of brown sugar to the apple juice reduction. Ensure the pork chops are cooked to a safe internal temperature to prevent dryness. Rosemary potatoes and tender green beans complement this dish very well.
