There are so many ways to prepare this. You can use bread stuffing or pork sausage stuffing. I prefer seasoned bread stuffing, as stuffing pork with more pork would be too over the top for me.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Serve your favorite vegetable alongside these stuffed pork chops for an easy weeknight meal. Juicy, sweet apples are mixed with savory stuffing and slivered almonds and then stuffed inside the boneless pork chops. They're tender and full of flavor.
