A delightful dish combining tender pork chops with a sweet and savory apple stuffing, perfect for a comforting family dinner.
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and lightly brown the pork chops on both sides.
Browning the pork chops seals in their juices and enhances flavor.
Grease the bottom of a casserole dish with butter.
Greasing prevents sticking and adds flavor.
Peel, core, and slice the apples, then mix them with cinnamon and brown sugar in a bowl.
Mixing the apples with spices beforehand ensures even flavor distribution.
Spread the apple mixture evenly on the bottom of the casserole dish.
Layering the apples first allows their juices to infuse the dish.
Place the browned pork chops on top of the apple mixture.
Arranging the pork chops evenly ensures consistent cooking.
Prepare the stuffing mix according to the package instructions, using chicken broth.
Using broth instead of water adds depth to the stuffing's flavor.
Spread the prepared stuffing over the pork chops.
Pressing the stuffing gently ensures it stays in place during baking.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes.
Covering the dish traps moisture, keeping the pork chops tender.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to crisp up the stuffing.
Uncovering at the end adds a delightful crunch to the stuffing.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious meal.
Garnish with fresh herbs for a touch of color and flavor.
