Ginger-Apple Pork Chops Recipe

Prep: 15 min. Bake: 25 min.

Yield: 6 Servings

15 25 40

Ingredients

6 boneless pork loin chops (1 inch thick and 8 ounces each)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 can (21 ounces) apple pie filling
12 gingersnaps, crumbled
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups unsweetened apple juice

Directions

Cut a pocket in each pork chop. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, brown chops in oil on both sides. Cool for 5 minutes. Combine the pie filling and gingersnaps; stuff some of the mixture into the pocket of each chop. Set remaining mixture aside.
Secure pork with toothpicks. Place in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Cover and bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Discard toothpicks.
In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and apple juice until smooth. Stir in reserved pie filling mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Serve over pork chops. Yield: 6 servings.
