Juicy pork chops stuffed with sautéed apples, rosemary, onion, and garlic, finished in the oven with a simple pan sauce. A perfect holiday main dish or cozy fall dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 (1-inch thick) bone-in pork chops
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut a pocket into the side of each pork chop, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  5. Stir in diced apple and rosemary. Cook for 5-7 minutes until apples are slightly tender.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Stuff the apple mixture into the pockets of the pork chops.
  8. Season the outside of the pork chops with salt and pepper.
  9. In the same skillet (or an oven-safe one), melt butter over medium-high heat. Sear pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  10. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  11. Remove pork chops from the skillet and set aside to rest.
  12. Return the skillet to the stovetop over medium heat. Add chicken broth and Dijon mustard, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.
  13. Serve the pork chops with the pan sauce.
