This is most definitely a fall food, even though you grill it. I love a stuffing made with apples and bacon and this is just delicious! To make this wonderful dish you will need:
4 boneless Pork chops (can use turkey cutlets)
1 tablespoons butter
4 slices bacon, chopped
1 apple peeled, cored and diced
1/2 medium onion diced
1 clove garlic chopped
1 teaspoon oregano and thyme chopped
1 large corn muffin (from the store bakery)
1/4 to 1/2 cup apple cider
Salt and Pepper
Apple Cider Gravy (recipe below)
1.) In a medium saute pan over medium heat, cook the bacon. Add the butter, the apple, the onion and the garlic. Cook until the onions are translucent. Add the oregano and the thyme. Remove from heat.
2.) Crumble in the corn muffin. Adding just enough apple cider to make the stuffing moist and able to hold together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3.) Between two sheets of wax paper, pound the chops until they are very thin. Divide the stuffing between the chops. Roll them up and secure them with a toothpick (or butchers twine).
4.) Grill over high heat for about 7 minutes on each side, or until an internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. Remove from heat and let set for 10 minutes covered in foil. Serve with the apple cider gravy, recipe listed below.
I also served this with mashed sweet potatoes. Add a little cayenne and cinnamon to give your mashed sweets a little kick!
Apple Cider Gravy

1.) In a small saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter. Add in the flour and stir to incorporate. Let this cook until the mixture becomes a light caramel color.
2.) Add in the rest of the ingredients and stir constantly until the mixture thickens, about 3 to 4 minutes.
