Steps

1. Prepare the stuffing according to package directions using 2 cups of water and 1 tablespoon butter. Set aside and keep warm.
2. Pat the pork chops dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the pork chops 5 to 6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
4. In the same skillet, peel and slice the apple. Add to the skillet and cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the frozen green beans and cook 3 minutes more until the beans are tender.
5. Serve the pork chops with the stuffing and topped with the apple and green bean mixture.
