Apple cranberry stuffed pork chops

Ingredients:

3 boneless pork chops
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
1 granny smith apple- peeled, cored and diced
1/2 cup dried cranberries
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar.
salt and pepper to taste
1 recipe apple glaze

In a small frying pan combine 1 tablespoon olive, onion and apple. Cook on med-high for about five minutes. Add dried cranberries and balsamic vinegar. Continue cooking until onions and apples are tender. Place on a plate and cool.

Cut a pocket into pork chops by starting to fillet the chop but not pushing the knife completely through. Stuff the chops with cooled apple mixture and then brown the sides in remaining tablespoon of olive oil in small frying pan. Place stuffed, browned pork chops in a baking dish and top with any remaining apple mixture. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until chops are cooked through. Serve with the apple glaze

Apple Glaze (for meats)

Okay- so I found this glaze recipe and was excited by it's simplicity. I just wanted to record it so that I could reference it in the future. This would be so yummy with ham and potatoes. Tonight I made it to go with apple stuffed pork chops.

In a small saucepan mix together: 1 cup apple juice, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Stir until smooth and then cook on medium heat until it thickens to a gravy consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
