Here’s the Prize-Winning Pork Chops with Apples and Stuffing Recipe

Ingredients

6 one-inch thick boneless pork loin chops

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 six-ounce box of stuffing mix

1 can (20 ounce) apple pie filling with cinnamon

Kosher salt and black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large skillet, add olive oil and boneless pork chops. Season pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Brown pork loins on both sides over medium-high heat in the hot skillet. A quick sear cook time takes about 4 minutes on each side.

While pork chops are browning, prepare stuffing according to the package instructions.

Place apple pie filling in a greased 9 x 13 inch baking dish in a single layer. When the pork chops are browned on both sides, place pork chops on top of the apple mixture. Once the stuffing is done, evenly add the stuffing on top of the pork chops.

Cover and bake the dish at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Then uncover the dish and bake for another 10 minutes.

Serve hot.

Tips to making Pork Chops with Apples Recipe

• The only thing I changed in the above recipe was adding seasoning the pork chops. The original recipe didn’t do this, and it needed it.
• The best way to make the stuffing is to add chopped onion and celery while cooking the stuffing.
• If you can’t find apple pie filling with cinnamon, simply add a bit of cinnamon to the apples when you lay them in the baking dish.
• If you love cheddar cheese on your apple pie, then adding cheddar cheese to the stuffing might make you happy. Really happy.
• One of the recipe’s reviewers, sautéed the apple pie filling with two tablespoons of brown sugar and two tablespoons of butter before putting it in the baking dish. The brown sugar mixture gives the dish more sweetness.
• Try different flavors of stuffing mix to vary the taste occasionally.
• You can substitute bone-in pork chops for boneless pork chops.
• Make sure the thick pork chops are cooked all the way through before serving.
• You can serve other vegetables with this dish, like sweet potatoes.
• Be sure to plate each pork chop with enough apple slices to get the sweet side in every bite.
• You can add your favorite seasoning to both sides of the pork chops.
• You can also make your own apple pie filling made with Granny Smith apples or Fuji apples.
• The pork chops could also be seared in chicken broth or melt butter instead.
• Taste the recipe and add a pinch of salt to the pork chops with apples recipe if you need more flavor.

First, you’ll need a 9 x 13-inch pan. I used a ceramic one like this one because I stopped cooking my food in metal and only use chemical-free cookware.

If you like this dish, you might want to load up on apple pie filling, and this Amish Apple Pie Filling looks scrumptious.

I used Arrowhead Mills Organic Stuffing, Savory Herb.
