    Toss together with the bread cubes and divide the mixture, stuffing the chops. Use a skewer or toothpicks to keep them closed, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Step 3
    Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in an ovenproof skillet and brown the chops on both sides.
  • Step 4
    Spoon the applesauce over the chops and sprinkle with the raisins. Cover and bake in a preheated 350F oven for 30 minutes.
  • Step 5
    Uncover and continue cooking for another 15 minutes.
