Pork chops with Apple Stuffing

1 cup croutons
1/2 cup crisp cooking apple -- peeled, seeded, minced (Galas are great for holding their shape!)
1/2 cup cheddar cheese -- finely grated
2 tablespoons currants
1/4 teaspoon salt or to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice, strained
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
6 (2-inch thick) pork chops
Salt to taste
White pepper to taste

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Mix together in a large bowl, the croutons, apples, cheese, currants, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cinnamon. Toss gently to fully combine. Pour orange juice and butter over all and toss gently again to mix.

While stuffing settles, cut a pocket into each of the pork chops. Season the pockets with a light sprinkle of salt and pepper. Spoon stuffing mixture into the pockets of the chops. Place into a lightly greased shallow baking pan. Bake in preheated 350° F oven for 60 minutes. Remove from oven and cover with foil. Return to oven and bake another thirty minutes.

Serves: 6
