Thick pork chops stuffed with a delicous apple stuffing, then topped with a peppery herb gravy!
Ingredients
For the Pork Chops:
- 6 large boneless pork chops, 1 ½-2 inch thick
- ½ small yellow onion, diced
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 2 apples, chopped, no need to peel
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 3 cups soft bread cubes
- 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
For the Gravy:
- 1 Tablespoon all purpose flour
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine bread cubes with melted butter, apples, onion, celery, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Cut a large pocket in each pork chop by making a horizontal cut through the meat. Press a large spoonful of stuffing into each pocket, really PRESS it in there until all stuffing and pork chops are done.
- In a large oven safe skillet, heat oil. Brown the pork chops on both sides for 3 minutes per side. Cover skillet with foil and bake for 30 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Uncover and bake an additional 30 minutes, or until internal temperature of the meat is 160 degrees.
- Remove pork chops from skillet and place on large serving platter. Tent with foil.
- With remaining juices in skillet, heat over medium heat. Sprinkle with flour, salt and pepper and stir for one minutes. Slowly pour in water and poultry seasoning, scraping the bits off the bottom of the pan.
- Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes. Add cream slowly and heat until thickened. You may want to season with more salt and pepper to taste. When thickened, remove from heat. Serve with pork chops. ENJOY!
