This recipes is absolutely a feast for the people who like chili pepper cooking, which came to us after experimenting with various stuffing mixtures for pork chops. This one absolutely delivers on flavor. Chopped apples seasoned with Cajun spices make for a delicious stuffed poblano pepper. It's a perfect side dish. We also made a batch of Apple-Cajun Stuffed Jalapeno Peppers with the same mixture.
