Equipment

  • Baking dish
  • Large skillet
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1 inch thick
  • 3 cups day-old bread cubes
  • 2 apples, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish.
  • Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and apples. Cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables soften.
  • Stir in the sage and cook 1 minute more. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Add the bread cubes and chicken broth to the skillet. Toss gently until the bread is evenly moistened.
  • Spread the stuffing mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Place the pork chops on top of the stuffing.
  • Drizzle the olive oil over the chops and dot the remaining tablespoon of butter across the stuffing. Cover the dish with foil.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake 10 minutes longer until the pork reaches 145°F and the stuffing is lightly browned on top.

Notes

Let the chops rest 5 minutes before serving so the juices settle. If the stuffing looks dry after baking, drizzle a little extra warm broth over it right before you bring the dish to the table. Leftovers reheat well in a covered skillet with a splash of broth to keep the stuffing moist.
