I am convinced that there is an infinite amount of ways to cook pork chops. One of those ways is stuffing them! It’s not only turkeys that can be stuffed! These Cranberry Apple Stuffed Pork Chops are an amazing fall dinner. And the best part? You only need four ingredients!
I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again: I love pork chops. Seriously, they are so versatile, as well as inexpensive and yummy. I usually make these stuffed pork chops when I have some blue cheese I need to use up. I find that the flavor combo of blue cheese, apples and cranberries is one of perfection. You really can’t go wrong.
