Instructions: Combine first nine ingredients; stir well. Fill pockets of pork chops with stuffing mixture, and secure with wooden picks. Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper. Brown chops on both sides in 1 tablespoon melted butter in a skillet. Add juice and water; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 55 minutes or until chops are tender. Arrange chops down the center of a serving platter; surround with Glazed Apple Rings. Garnish with fresh sage leaves, if desired.

Apple Rings: Core apples. Slice into 1/2-inch-thick rings; toss with lemon juice. Combine water, sugar, and syrup in a skillet; bring to a boil.

Boil 2 minutes or until sugar dissolves, stirring constantly. Layer apple rings in skillet. Add any remaining lemon juice; reduce heat, and simmer 8 minutes or until rings are tender, turning once.
