A Fall Dish

Sweet potatoes…oh my!

It was my turn to cook our main lunch meal today.  I had no idea what I was going to cook, but I shook the freezer (old family joke!) and pork chops fell out.  Ok.  So…a base of pork.

In the fruit bowl were a few apples that were needing to be used as well as some sweet potatoes that I had picked up a couple of weeks ago.  Hmmm…fall food.

Seven apples, peeled, cored, and sliced!

I should have started by peeling and slicing the sweet potatoes into 1/4 inch rounds, but did I do that?  No.  That would have been smart! 

Lay approximately 2 lbs. of pork chops over apples and sweet potatoes and season with salt, pepper, and granulated onion!

I started with a 9 x 13″ pan and covered it with long ends to spare in aluminum foil (so that I could cover the dish for cooking.)  I sprayed it with my favorite gf non-stick cooking spray.  You should peel the sweet potatoes, slicing them in 1/4 inch rounds.

Apples and sweet potatoes.

Lay the rounds on the foil and follow with the peeled and sliced apples. On top of all of that, place your pork chops. Season with 2 tsp. of granulated onion, 1 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. black pepper.

All set for the oven!

Fold long ends of the foil over the pork chops, apples, and sweet potatoes. Bake at 250° F for three hours. Enjoy!

All done! The apples almost melted and made a lovely applesauce. The sweet potatoes were soft and delicious. The pork was melt in your mouth tender. Yum!
