3/4 cup unsweetened apple cider (Used unsweetened apple juice)
2 large garlic cloves, halved
1 tsp dried rosemary seasoning

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Combine flour, pepper, and paprika. Dredge chops in flour mix.
3. Spray a large skillet with cooking spray, and add oil.
4. Over medium heat, add chops and cook 3 minutes on each side, until browned. Remove chops from pan and place into a baking dish.
5. Combine broth, cider, garlic, and rosemary to pan. Bring to boil for 1 minute.
6. Remove and discard garlic and rosemary.
7. Add stuffing mix and chopped apple. Stir well until all the liquid has been absorbed.
8. Pour contents, gently, into the baking dish on top of the pork chops.
9. Cover with foil and bake for 30 min.

Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, salt and pepper, cinnamon and nutmeg.
2. Add butter to skillet, and stir in brown sugar mixture and apples.
3. Cover and cook until apples are just tender.
4. Remove apples with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl.
5. Continue cooking sauce uncovered in skillet, until thickened slightly.
6. Spoon sauce over apples and chops.
