Recipe: Glazed Stuffed Pork Chops
By popular demand...This was modified from a Kraft recipe. It was yummy and easy and made Geoff happy. My only issue with it is the boxed stuffing... Everything else could be easily modified to be organic. I shall need to do some more research - or just make it myself next time instead of enjoying the glorious convenience of a box.
Glazed Stuffed Pork Chops
1 box stuffing mix for chicken
1 cup apple juice
2 apples
4 pork chops
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 cup raspberry vinaigrette dressing
(NOTE: I used an organic sweet onion dressing instead, and it was awesome)
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Prepare stuffing as directed on package, substituting apple juice for the water. Cut one of the apples into 1/2-inch chunks and stir into prepared stuffing.
Heat large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Carefully cut pocket in each chop (slice almost all the way open from the side). Close back up, sprinkle with pepper, and cook 2 minutes on each side. Remove chops from skillet, reserving drippings in skillet. Spoon 1/4 cup of the stuffing mixture into pocket in each chop. Spoon remaining stuffing into 13x9-inch baking dish. Place chops over stuffing in baking dish.
NOTE: It works just as well to skip the 'pocket' step and just put the chops over all of the stuffing and call it a day. It just doesn't look as fancy :)
Core remaining apple and cut crosswise into four rings. Place 1 apple ring over each chop. Brush evenly with 1 tbsp of the dressing.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until chops are cooked through. Meanwhile, mix remaining 3 tbsp dressing, brown sugar, and mustard in same skillet. Cook on medium-high heat 1 minute or until bubbly and thickened. Serve spooned over the apples and chops.

Recipe looks great. A homemade stuffing mix: cut few slices of bread in cubes and dry on counter over few days or in low oven. Add either 1 tsp. dried onion flakes or minced fresh, 1/4 tsp garlic salt, little pepper, 1-2 tsp. dried parsley flakes, 1/4-1/2 tsp dried sage and optional 1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning. Mix together with a little oil or margerine and water to moisten.
That sounds delish! I'm so hungry and it's 10:30, why? Ack...now I want to go eat. Must go to bed!
