Apples, Apples, and More Apples

I need some interesting, not typical, but not so crazy, recipes with apples. Low fat/cal would be appreciated, but if not, I can always play with it a little. FH and I went apple picking and I've got more apples than I know what to do with. Help, please!

I got this receipe from Kraft. I have not tried it but I am probably going to try it this weekend.

eat them! Lol
three apples a day keeps the fat away! I did not make that up my trainer gave me this diet to follow.... I lost four lbs in a week you have an apple before each main meal and it is healthy carbs which curbs your appetite and you eat less!

OMG Tammy i am going apple picking

yeah EAT them! Nothing fills you up more than an apple!

Also - somebody posted a great apple crisp type recipe on here a little while back.....sounded DELICIOUS

How about this? I've made it once, not sure if this is the exact recipe I used, but FH loved it.


Stuffed Pork Chops with Gorgonzola and Apple

1 tablespoon butter
1/2 tablespoon dried thyme
1/2 cup chopped Granny Smith apples
ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup Gorgonzola cheese at
room temperature, crumbled
2 thick cut pork chops

1/2 teaspoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup Gorgonzola cheese
3 tablespoons dry sherry
1/8 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
salt and pepper to taste


Directions
1) Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
2) To make the apple stuffing: In a saute' pan or skillet on medium heat, melt the butter and saute' thyme, chopped apples, salt and pepper together until the apples are completely softened; about 15 to 20 minutes.
3) Place the apple mixture in a bowl and mix in 1/4 cup Gorgonzola cheese. The cheese should liquefy into the stuffing within a couple of minutes.
4) To prepare the pork chops: Butterfly the pork chops by slicing them parallel to the plane of the chop from the fat side to the bone. Stuff each one with about 2 to 3
tablespoons of the apple mixture.
5) Bake the chops for about 1 hour. Place the chops on a rack with the two stuffing sides pressed together to hold the stuffing inside the chops.
6) To make the sauce: Heat the oil in a saute' pan or skillet on medium heat, then saut E the garlic until transparent, and the cheese until slightly melting. Immediately add the sherry, let cook for a minute until combined, then
add the cream and 1/4 cup of the chicken stock, salt and pepper. Stir until well blended. Stir occasionally and reduce the liquid on medium high heat until the sauce begins
to toast/caramelize and turn darker brown. Add the remaining 1/4 cup chicken stock, reincorporate the cheese and continue reducing until there is just 1/4 to 1/2 cup of thick liquid remaining.
