Combine cornbread (or bread), apple, onion, celery, broth, sage and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a food processor; pulse until roughly chopped and well combined, 7 to 8 pulses. Insert the tip of a boning or paring knife through the outer edge of each pork chop until it reaches bone. Without slicing or enlarging the hole, gently rotate the knife back and forth to create a large pocket about 2 1/2 inches wide. Spoon about 1/2 cup stuffing into the pocket of each chop. Sprinkle the chops evenly with salt and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat; add the stuffed chops and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the pan to the oven; bake until a thermometer inserted into the thickest portion registers 145°F, 8 to 12 minutes. Transfer the pork chops to a large platter; let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with sage, if desired.

Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients.
