Prep: 15 min Bake: 45 min. Yield: 2 servings

1 cup instant chicken-flavor stuffing mix
1 4oz. can diced peaches, undrained (we use crushed pineapples)
3 tablespoons hot water
1 tablespoon butter, melted
2 bone-in center loin pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
1/4 cup peach preserves (or marmalade)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

In a small bowl, combine the stuffing mix, fruit, water and butter. Cut a pocket in each pork chop by slicing almost to the bone. Stuff with the fruit mixture and secure with a wooden toothpick. Place in an 11 x 7 inch baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray.
Combine preserves and mustard; spread over chops. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 15-20 minutes or until meat juices run clear.

These moist pork chops served with applesauce are one of our favorite meals. Enjoy!
