Usually pork chops are paired with applesauce. This delicious entree has been on my menu for many years and piles apples into the pork chops instead.

METHOD: Baked
TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 1 hour
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon chopped onion
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3 cups soft bread cubes
- 2 cups finely chopped apples
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided

- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Directions:
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.
