DIRECTIONS
- Cut a one inch horizontal slit in the front of the pork chop.
- Using a sharp knife, slice a cavity into the chop all the way back to the bone. Leave about 1/2 inch uncut along all the sides.
- Combine apple sauce, stuffing, and dijon mustard.
- Divide evenly and stuff into each of the pork chops.
- Squeeze the opening of each chop closes, or secure with a toothpick.
- Sprinkle the chops with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Combine the remaining ingredients to make a sauce.
- Grill the chops over a high heat just long enough to sear both sides, about one minute each side.
- Lower the heat to medium or transfer to the chops to a cooler part of the grill.
- Baste with the sauce and turn several times, basting each time.
- Chops should be done after about 20 minutes total cooking time or until the internal temperature reaches a minimum of 145 degrees.
- Remove from heat and allow chops to rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
