Tips & Techniques

  • High Altitude (3500-6500 ft):

    Heat oven to 375°F. In step 2, cover tightly with foil; bake 45 minutes. In step 3, uncover; pour glaze over chops. Bake uncovered 10 to 15 minutes longer.

  • Tip

    Pork chops need to be at least 1 inch thick to cut a pocket in them for stuffing. If the chops are thicker, they may need to bake a bit longer.

Ingredients

  • Pork Chops
  • 4  pork rib or loin chops, 1 inch thick (about 2 1/2 lb)
  • Stuffing
  • 2  slices cinnamon raisin bread, toasted, cut into cubes (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2  cup chopped apple (1/2 medium)
  • 1/2  cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2  teaspoon salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon grated orange peel
  • 1/8  teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Dash pepper
  • 3  tablespoons orange juice
  • Glaze
  • 2  tablespoons sugar
  • 1  tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1  cup apple juice
  • 2  tablespoons butter or margarine

Directions

  1. 1Heat oven to 350°F. With sharp knife, make pocket in each pork chop by cutting into side of chop toward bone.
  2. 2In medium bowl, mix stuffing ingredients. Stuff each pocket with 1/4 of stuffing mixture; place chops in ungreased 13x9-inch pan. Bake uncovered 30 minutes.
  3. 3Meanwhile, in 1-quart saucepan, mix sugar and cornstarch; stir in apple juice. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until mixture boils and thickens. Remove from heat; stir in butter.
  4. 4Pour glaze evenly over chops; bake uncovered 30 to 35 minutes longer or until pork is no longer pink in center.

These were good. I think I might try cooking them in a 9x9 pan and slitting the pork first so that the chops can absorb more of the juices. It was delicious, but a little dry!
