How To Make apple-stuffed pork chops

Step 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 .

Step 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.
Step 3

In the slow cooker, add the chicken stock, carrots and bay leaf and stir.
Step 4

Stuff the chops with the apple mixture, distributing evenly, and position on top of carrots and broth in the slow cooker.
Step 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.
Step 6

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???
