The sweet taste of dried fruit pairs well with pork, and smoking the chops adds another layer of flavour. This versatile dish is great for a family dinner, or an outdoor meal with guests.
Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 2-3 hours Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients
Rub
½ Cup brown sugar
½ Tsp salt
1 Tsp cinnamon
Pork Chop
4 Boneless pork loin chops (1½ ” thick)
2 Royal gala apples, cored and diced
⅓ Cup dried cranberries
½ Cup sliced almonds

- In a large bowl toss together the apples, cranberries and almonds. Stir in remaining brown sugar mixture. Spoon into the pork chops.
- Place the pork chops on smoker racks.
- Set the smoker to 250°F using Bradley Flavor Bisquettes of choice (Cherry, Maple, or Oak work great).
- Smoke the pork chops until they reach an internal temperature of 155°F, approximately 2½ hours.
- Serve immediately.
