Stuffing Crust Pork Chops with Apples

Pork chops with apples is a classic combination. The addition of a stuffing crust keeps the chops succulent and tender.

I first had this dish in the 1970s, my stepmother had lived in Canada for a few years and this was one of her imported regulars.

This recipe is based on one by Betty Crocker, where the chops are roasted on a bed of spiced red apples.
