Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 medium-sized Green apples
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 6 ounces Stuffing mix
- 0.25 cup Dried cranberries
- 0.25 cup Chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and ground black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden-brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the same skillet.
Core and slice the apples thinly, then sauté them in the butter for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Sprinkle the apples with brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the sugar to melt and create a glaze. Remove the apples from the skillet and set aside.
Pour 1 cup of chicken broth into the empty skillet and bring it to a simmer. Add the stuffing mix, dried cranberries, and chopped pecans. Mix until the broth is absorbed and the stuffing is fluffy.
Spread the stuffing evenly across the bottom of the skillet, then nestle the seared pork chops on top.
Spoon the glazed apples over the pork chops, distributing them evenly.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the pork chops with a generous portion of stuffing and glazed apples on the side. Enjoy!
