Ingredients

  • 1 (cup) Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 (large) Granny Smith apple, peeled cored and chopped
  • 4 (5-6 ounce) boneless pork loin chops, pounded thin
  • 2 (tablespoon) vegetable oil
  • 1/4 (cup) red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 (cup) water
  • 2 (teaspoon) all-purpose flour
  • (as needed) salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, toss together the Cheddar cheese and apple. Lay out the pork chops and pound with a meat mallet until 1/4' thick. Spread a thin layer of the cheese mixture on top of each one. Season with salt and pepper. Roll them up and secure with toothpicks.
  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Quickly brown the outsides of the chops, then pour in the vinegar and water. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for about 30 minutes.
  3. Mix the flour with a small amount of the liquid from the chops. Stir into the skillet until completely dissolved, then simmer for a few minutes, stirring constantly, to make a quick gravy.

    This pork chops were absolutely delicious (the hubby finished off all the extras, so no leftovers on this one!) but the gravy had a crazy strong taste of vinegar that made it inedible. Should I let it reduce a little more after removing the pork chops before making it into gravy or should I just add less vinegar to begin with?

    Hi Maria. After reviewing this recipe, I feel that the original amount of vinegar called for in this recipe was too much. I have edited this recipe to call for 1/4 cup vinegar. Also to help with the flavor, I suggest substituting the water with some chicken or vegetable broth or apple juice/cider. And allowing the sauce to simmer for a few more minutes before serving should help too.

    This was so good, I'll make more next time. Even my husband, who usually doesn't like fruit in his entrees, loved it!

    I just made this for dinner tonight! I had issues getting the "rolls" to stay rolled, so after I browned the chops I poured in the liquid and the rest of the apples and cheese. My 6 year old daughter LOVED them and ate 1 1/2 chops herself! (Amazing for her!) I did not make the gravy. I also served it with butter noodles (egg noodles with butter) and peas. :) I at first thought I will never make this again... Now, this will be a staple for us! Thank you for such a good recipe!

    @Tonia- Next time you might skip the step of 'pounding out' the pork chops and simply use a thicker pork chop. If using a thicker pork chop simply cut a pocket in the thickest part of the pork chop, making sure the knife only goes to about the center of the pork chop. Stuff the pork chop as directed. If needed use toothpicks to seal the pocket closed to cook. You could then bake the stuffed pork chops in a 375 degree oven for about 30 minutes, as the action of flipping the pork chops to cook in a pan on the stove top may cause some of the filling to fall out.

    I was actually thinking about stuffing them instead next time :) My husband recommended baking them!

    @Tonia- Recipes are just a starting point and can usually be changed up. If another cooking technique works better by all means change it! You will have to try this recipe again and let us know how it works out for you!
