APPLE STUFFED PORK CHOPS

Stuffing:
3/4 cup shelled walnuts
1 Tbs. butter or margarine
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 large apple, peeled, cored, and chopped
1/4 cup seedless raisins
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. poultry seasoning

6 lean pork loin rib chops with pockets for stuffing, about 1 1/4 inches thick
2 Tbs. oil
Salt & pepper
1 cup apple cider

Gravy:
1 1/2 Tbs. flour
1/2 cup heavy or whipping cream (evaporated milk can be substituted)
1/4 tsp. salt
Dash of pepper

Stuffing: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In small saucepan, cook walnuts in boiling water to cover for 3 minutes; drain. Arrange in pan and toast in oven until golden, about 5 to 10 minutes, shaking pan occasionally, and watching carefully for burning. When cool enough to handle, chop and set aside. (This step can be done the day before.)

In skillet over medium heat, melt butter or margarine. Add onions and saute 5 minutes. Stir in walnuts, apple, raisins and seasonings. Stuff about 1/3 cup stuffing into each chop and secure opening with wooden toothpick. Heat oil in skillet and brown chops on each side; place in single layer in baking dish or pan. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in cider, cover and bake for 45 minutes. Remove lid or foil and bake 15 minutes longer. Transfer chops to a heated serving dish and keep warm.

Gravy: Put flour in a small saucepan. Gradually strain baking juices into saucepan and blend with flour. Cook over medium heat until smooth and bubbly. Add remaining gravy ingredients. Heat to boiling; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve over pork chops. Makes 6 servings.
