Apples, Sweet Potatoes, and Pork Chops

submitted by Alicia

6 large sweet potatoes
4 Tbsp. cooking oil
6 2" thick pork chops
salt and pepper
6 large tart apples
1 c. raisins
1 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Peel the potatoes; cut them into large chunks and boil them till they're about half done. Set aside. Heat the oil and brown the chops quickly on both sides - salt and pepper. Put the chops and sweet potatoes in a large baking pan. Peel, halve and core the apples. Place them in the pan with the chops and potatoes and sprinkle on the raisins. Sprinkle cinnamon on each apple. Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake 50 minutes until apples and chops are tender.

Ok, this isn't the simplest supper since peeling and coring are involved. But what I love about this recipe is that your whole supper is in one pot! Just slice up some french bread on the side and you're done. And the smells of this luscious dish are so comforting on a crisp fall day.

Oh Alicia, this sounds so good! Perfect for a fall evening! It's warm and summery here today -- has been, for the past week or so -- but next time we get a spell of cool weather (and pork chops are on sale) I will definitely try this. Have you tried Ginger Gold apples? I imagine they grow them in WI.. the ones I buy are grown in Maine. They are fabulous!

God bless,
Mrs.T
