CITRUS-GLAZED APPLE STUFFED PORK CHOPS

Ingredients:

• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp Lemon Pepper Seasoning Blend
• 2 tsp Lemon Pepper Seasoning Blend
• 1/4 cup chopped red onion
• 1/2 cup divided orange marmalade
• 1 Macintosh or Granny Smith apple, diced
• Cooking spray
• 4 5- to 6-oz thick-cut, bone-in pork chop loins

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Coat a shallow roasting pan with cooking spray.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add apple and onion and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until soft.

Add 2 tablespoons of the orange marmalade and 2 teaspoons of Lemon Pepper Seasoning Blend and stir to coat.

Remove from heat.

Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into each pork chop by slicing crosswise into the side edge of chop and almost through to the other side (the bone side).

Spoon apple mixture into pocket and transfer stuffed pockets to prepared pan.

In a small bowl, combine remaining cup of orange marmalade and tablespoon of Lemon Pepper Seasoning Blend and mix well.

Spoon mixture over stuffed pork chops.

Bake 45 minutes, until pork is tender and cooked through (still slightly pink in the center is perfect; or use a meat thermometer and remove pork from oven when internal temperature reaches 160 degrees).

Serve with a side of baked sweet potatoes.
