    teaspoon packed brown sugar

  • 1
    tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. Brush 1/2 teaspoon butter in bottom of 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish. Spread apple slices in dish. In small bowl, mix flour, brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over apples. Sprinkle seasoned salt on both sides of pork; place pork over apples.

    In 2-quart saucepan, heat apple juice and 2 tablespoons butter to boiling over medium-high heat. Stir in stuffing mix and cranberries. Cover; remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes. Fluff mixture with fork. Scoop 1/2 cup stuffing onto each pork chop.
  • 3
    Spray sheet of foil with cooking spray; place sprayed side down over baking dish. Bake 40 to 50 minutes. Uncover; bake 5 to 10 minutes longer or until pork is no longer pink in center and meat thermometer inserted in center reads 160°F. Sprinkle with parsley. To serve, lift pork chops with stuffing to serving plates; serve apples on the side.

  • Boneless pork loin chops can be used instead of the bone-in chops.
  • Add spice to the dish by sprinkling pork chops with 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne).
  • Dried cherries can be substituted for the dried cranberries.
  • Red Rome, Cortland and Braeburn are varieties of apples that work well in this recipe.
