How to Make Pork Chops Stuffed With Apples And Sage
- Brine pork chops: In a bowl, combine 1 cup milk and 1/2 tbsp salt. Add pork chops, ensuring they are fully submerged. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours).
- Prepare the stuffing: Melt 4 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 cup diced apples, and 1/2 cup chopped celery. Sauté for 10-12 minutes, until vegetables are tender and softened.
- Add 1/2 cup chicken broth and 1/4 cup crumbled stuffing mix to the skillet. Stir until the liquid is absorbed.
- Stir in 1 tbsp fresh sage (chopped), 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and a pinch of ground red pepper.
- Set aside to cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the pork chops: Trim excess fat from each pork chop. Cut a slit in the side of each chop to create a pocket.
- Stuff the chops: Spoon the apple and sage stuffing evenly into the pockets of each pork chop.
- Prepare the parsley topping: Combine 4 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper in a small bowl.
- Sear the chops: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed pork chops for 2 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
- Top and bake: Spread the parsley mixture evenly over the seared pork chops. Add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Rest and serve: Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra fresh parsley and serve with your favorite sides.
