Juicy pork chops stuffed with a flavorful apple filling and baked to perfection.

Main Dish

Steps

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, mix together the diced apple, breadcrumbs, minced onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
Cut a pocket into each pork chop, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Stuff each pork chop with the apple filling, pressing it in tightly.
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the stuffed pork chops for 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving.

Tips for Apple-Stuffed Pork Chops

Choose chops of similar thickness so they finish cooking at roughly the same time.
A golden-brown crust and tender, juicy meat are good cues; avoid packing the pocket so tightly that filling spills out.
Use a skillet with an oven-safe handle, and let the chops rest briefly so the juices settle before serving.
