Pork Chops With Apple Stuffing

Pork chops are stuffed with an apple and bacon stuffing then cooked in the skillet.

Ingredients:

• 6 pork chops, at least 1-inch thick
• 2 to 4 slices bacon, diced
• 1/4 cup chopped celery
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 3 apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs or cracker crumbs
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 teaspoons chopped parsley

Preparation:

Cut a pocket in each of the chops for stuffing. Fry diced bacon until crisp, then add celery and onion; cook until tender. Add diced apples, sprinkle with sugar, then cover and cook slowly until tender and glazed. Add bread crumbs; season with salt, pepper and parsley. Stuff mixture into the pockets in chops. Season chops with salt and pepper and brown on both sides in a hot skillet. Reduce heat, add a few tablespoons of water; cover and let cook slowly until done, or about 45 to 60 minutes.
