Preparation

Step 1

In a small skillet, saute onion in butter until tender.
Remove from the heat; add the bread cubes, apples, celery, parsley and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Cut a pocket in each chop by making a horizontal cut through the meat almost to the bone.
Sprinkle inside and outside with pepper and remaining salt.
Spoon stuffing loosely into pockets.
In a large skillet, brown the chops on both sides in oil.
Place in an ungreased large baking pan.
Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes.
Uncover; bake 30 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 145°.
Let meat stand for 5 minutes before serving.
