Brown chops and season. Place in casserole. Add water to drippings and pour around chops. Place large pieces of sliced onions on top.

Core and cut apples in 3-4 crosswise pieces and lay on top of chops. (A little brown sugar can be used if apples are tart.)

DRESSING FOR TOPPING:

2 c. bread pieces
1/4 c. or more chopped onion
Celery, cut up
2 tbsp. butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. sage

Put on top of chops and cover with aluminum foil. Bake in slow oven so dressing won't get too brown about 1 1/2 hours.
