How To Make apple-stuffed pork chops

  • 1
    Prepare the chop for the filling by using a sharp knife to create a pocket in the meat in the thickest part on the boneless, or extending the cut nearly to the bone .
  • 2
    Heat better in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the onions and celery until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the bread pieces, apple, egg, sage, thyme, parsley, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly.
  • 3
    In the slow cooker, add the chicken stock, carrots and bay leaf and stir.
  • 4
    Stuff the chops with the apple mixture, distributing evenly, and position on top of carrots and broth in the slow cooker.
  • 5
    Cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours, or on High for 5 to 6 hours until chops are tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with fresh parsley.

    Variations: You can get creative with the stuffing by adding dried fruit such as raisins or cranberries; crumbled sausage or bacon. You could use chicken not pork-chop???
