A peppery gravy with aromatic herbs adds the finishing touch to succulent Apple Stuffed Pork Chops. Juicy, tender, and family favorite for weeknight dinners!
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!
Notes
The exact cooking time depends on several factors, including the size of your stuffed pork chops and how accurate your oven reads. Your pork chops are finished cooking when the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
Let it Rest- Allowing pork chops to rest for about 5-10 minutes helps to redistrubute the juices, keeping the moisture in!
Sear the Meat- don't skip this step before putting the chops in the oven!
Store Leftovers- Place leftovers in airtight container and put in refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in oven at 350 degrees until warmed through.
