CRANBERRY APPLE STUFFED PORK CHOPS

Category: Pork - Chops and Steaks

4 boneless pork, cut into chops at least 1 inch thick
4 tsp onion, minced
1 cup apple, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced
1 cup apple juice
1 cup cranberry juice
3 tsp cornstarch
5 tsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp black pepper

Combine apple, celery and onion in a bowl and mix well. Set aside. Carefully slice the pork chops lengthwise going down the center. Do not cut it completely in half, slice it about 3/4 of the way down the pork chop so you create a pocket. Stuff each chop with about 3 tsp of the apple mixture.

In another bowl, combine apple juice, cranberry juice, brown sugar, pepper and cornstarch.

In a frying pan, melt 1 tbsp of butter over medium-high heat, add pork chops and brown for about 5-7 minutes on each side. Reduce heat to low then add juice mixture. Cover and simmer until sauce thickens and pork chops are cooked to your desired doneness. Serves 4
