Cooking Tips

• Choose firm and tart apples, such as Granny Smith, for the stuffing as they hold their shape well when cooked.
• Make sure to properly seal the pocket of the pork chop to prevent the stuffing from falling out during cooking.
• If you prefer a sweeter flavor, you can add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup to the apple mixture.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover apple stuffed pork chops can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
