Apple Baked Pork Chops


 

I’ve been searching for a little while for the perfect fall dinner so when I stumbled across this little gem I knew I had found a winner! I really love incorporating fresh produce into my meals and the idea of sweet and savory combinations get me giddy. Peaches are my regular go-to so this year I decided to get a little crazy and replace them with apples! These pork chops are juicy, sweet, savory, and basically everything you’d expect.

This is also the recipe that helped me learn to love boxed stuffing. I have only ever eaten homemade (thanks, mom!) so boxed has never been super high on my list of things I indulge in.  

However, the apples slowly roasting and adding juices to the bread crumbs gives it a fresh new flavor that is hard to resist. Make sure you serve a little bit of everything as you dish up. The best bites were ones that had a little bit of each item.

My seven year old rated this recipe a 8 out of 10 which is saying a lot. Points were lost for pork being the main star because he was so sure he wouldn’t like it. I serve pork a little less frequently than other proteins so he was nervous and unsure what to expect. Even with his lower score he licked his plate clean and declared the meal a success!
