Patsy’s Stuffed Pork Chops

Makes 8 servings

2 6-oz. pkgs. stuffing mix

8 boneless pork chops

2 T. oil

3 cloves garlic, sliced

salt and pepper to taste

2 c. applesauce

cinnamon to taste

Prepare stuffing mixes according to package instructions; set aside. Slicing horizontally into the sides, cut a pocket into the center of each pork chop. Evenly stuff chops with prepared stuffing. Drizzle oil and sprinkle garlic in a 13"x9" baking pan. Arrange chops in pan and season with salt and pepper. Top each chop with 1/4 cup applesauce and sprinkle with cinnamon. Bake, uncovered, at 425 degrees for 30 minutes, or until chops are no longer pink.

Out of bread crumbs for a casserole? Just substitute crushed herb-flavored stuffing mix instead and it will be just as tasty.
