Preparation
Combine all stuffing ingredients and season to taste. Top half of each pork chop with 1/4 of the stuffing mixture. Fold the other half over the stuffing and secure with toothpicks.
Butter and pre-heat a ribbed cast-iron skillet to medium. Baste pork chops with melted butter, and season with salt and pepper. When oil is hot, place chops in skillet. Cover, reduce heat slightly and let cook for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, turning only once. Serve with grilled vegetables.
Tips
You could substitute a pear for the apple in your stuffing. Or try adding finely chopped walnuts, for texture and flavour.
