Apple Stuffed Pork Chops

Recipe View Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until tender and translucent. Remove from heat. (8 minutes)

Recipe View In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed onion, bread crumbs, diced apples, chopped celery, parsley, and salt. Mix gently but thoroughly. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a deep pocket into the side of each pork chop, being careful not to cut all the way through. Season the inside and outside of each chop generously with salt and pepper. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Spoon the apple mixture loosely into the pockets of the pork chops, ensuring not to overstuff them. (10 minutes)

Recipe View In the same skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Brown the pork chops on both sides until golden brown. This will help to seal in the juices. (8 minutes)

Recipe View Transfer the browned pork chops to an ungreased 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. (60 minutes)

Recipe View Let the pork chops rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop. (10 minutes)
