Nothing says fall more than pork and apples. These apple stuffed pork chops are easy to make!

The Taste Of Autumn

Nothing says autumn as much as apples and pork!

This is the season where you will usually find great deals on all cuts of pork, so taking advantage of this to stock the freezer is a boon.

Last fall was when I got the chops in the photo. Before anyone says, “Ewwww,” I vacuum seal all my stuff in my Foodsaver and these chops were as fresh and juicy as the day I bought them. I used bone-in chops because that’s what I had, but the original recipe calls for boneless. Either or will do.

Since I live right in the middle of New York’s apple country, I have many locally grown varieties to choose from. However, I used Granny Smiths here because of the tartness. They are not local apples.

Pork Chops With Delicate Herb Flavor

These chops get a great flavor from rosemary. I didn’t use much because I find too much rosemary to be unpleasant. I generally will use half of what a recipe calls for.

In these chops, the small amount of rosemary gives them terrific flavor. And what I like about it is rosemary is an herb that’s not your first thought when it comes to pork.

However, if you really find the taste of it unpleasant, then substituting thyme would be a great choice. I’m a big lover of thyme and I’m making them again and using that herb!

The Stuffing

This stuffing is really special!

It’s got nice tart apples, savoury red onion, honey and just enough toasted sliced almonds for texture and taste.

This stuffing totally complements the pork with just enough tartness balanced with just enough sweetness–and the reduction you make at the end is the crowning glory.
