Auntie Flo's Porkchops

I recieved this recipe from Pat (our neighbor from Hyde Park), who told me that she used to make this when she got home late and had 3 hungry kids. Since Alex eats about the same amount as 3 hungry kids, I figured this would be perfect! Since this takes very little time (and very little mess) to make, I kind of love it.

From Pat Nau

Ingredients:
6 thick butterfly pork chops (no bones)
2 cans apple pie filling
2 boxes stove top stuffing
Cinnamon (to taste)
2 tbs olive oil
Butter
Salt, pepper, paprika

1. Season the chops on both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika. Make the stuffing according to the directions on the box. Let the stuffing sit to the side while you prepare everything else. Spoon the pie filling into a casserole dish, add cinnamon to taste. Spread pie filling so that the entire bottom of the pan is covered.

2. Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. When the oil is hot and starting to bubble, add chops. Cook until they are browned on both sides (if your oil is hot enough, this should only take a minute or two, so keep an eye on it).

3. Place chops on pie filling. Spoon the stuffing over the chops, spread to cover. Dot the top of the stuffing with pats of butter, season with paprika to taste.

4. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes; remove foil and bake for 10 minutes longer, then serve.
