A delightful twist on classic pork chops, stuffed with a flavorful apple and cranberry mixture.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and helps achieve the desired texture.
Lightly grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Peel and dice the apple into small cubes.
Cut the apple into uniform pieces for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced apple, cranberries, cinnamon, sage, and rosemary.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Trim any excess fat from the pork chops and cut a pocket into each chop for stuffing.
Use a sharp knife to carefully create a pocket without cutting through the chop.
Stuff each pork chop with the apple mixture and secure with toothpicks if necessary.
Avoid overstuffing to prevent the filling from spilling out during cooking.
Place the stuffed pork chops in the prepared baking dish and season with salt and pepper.
Seasoning enhances the natural flavors of the pork.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the pork is fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Serve the stuffed pork chops warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
