How to Make Apple Glazed Stuffed Pork Chops

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Using a sharp knife, carefully create a pocket in the side of each pork chop, cutting towards the bone but being careful not to cut all the way through.
3. In a medium bowl, prepare the stuffing (see ingredient list for details).
4. Evenly distribute the stuffing mixture among the pork chops, filling each pocket.
5. Place the stuffed pork chops in an ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan.
6. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
7. While the pork chops are baking, prepare the apple glaze:
8. In a 1-quart saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch.
9. Gradually whisk in 1 cup apple juice.
10. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
11. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and smooth.
12. Pour the glaze evenly over the pork chops in the baking pan.
13. Continue baking uncovered for another 30-35 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and are no longer pink in the center.
