Ingredients
- Pork chops (4, bone-in)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- All-purpose flour (½ cup)
- Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
- Butter (2 tablespoons)
- Onion (1, finely chopped)
- Celery (2 stalks, finely chopped)
- Apple (1, peeled, cored, and chopped)
- Dried sage (1 teaspoon)
- Dried thyme (1 teaspoon)
- Dried rosemary (1 teaspoon)
- Chicken broth (1 cup)
- Bread crumbs (2 cups)
- Egg (1)
- Cranberries (½ cup, dried)
Directions
- For the pork chops: Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides. Dredge them in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork chops and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- For the stuffing: In the same skillet, add the onion, celery, and apple. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
- Add the dried sage, thyme, and rosemary to the skillet. Stir in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
- In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, egg, and dried cranberries. Pour the vegetable mixture from the skillet over the bread crumb mixture. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish and transfer the stuffing mixture into it. Place the pork chops on top of the stuffing.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the stuffing is golden brown and the pork chops are warmed through.
- Serve the apple pork chops and stuffing hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
