Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork loin
- 4 medium (about 2 pounds) sweet potatoes
- 3 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch chunks. Core and slice the apples into wedges. Peel and thinly slice the onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, ground cinnamon, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from the heat.
In a 6-quart crock pot, lay the sweet potatoes, apples, and onions in an even layer at the bottom.
Pour the chicken broth over the vegetables and fruit. Drizzle half of the maple-mustard glaze on top.
Place the seared pork loin on top of the sweet potatoes and apples. Pour the remaining glaze over the pork.
Dot the top with small pieces of unsalted butter.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
When done, remove the pork loin and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with sweet potatoes and apples, spooning some of the juices from the crock pot over the top.
