Ingredients
- 4 cups diced sweet potatoes
- 1 large onion
- 16 oz apple sauce unsweetened
- 4 apples sliced and peeled
- 6-8 pork chops 1 large package, about 2 lbs
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp parsley dried
- 1 tsp sage dried
- 1/2 tsp celery salt (could crush less celery seed as sub)
- 1 tbsp minced onions
- 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Begin by dicing the sweet potatoes into small cubes and tossing in a bowl.
- Sprinkle the sweet potatoes with the dried parsley, sage, celery salt, and minced onions. Add 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper.
- Add the chicken broth to the sweet potatoes. Cook in microwave on high for 4 minutes or until just fork tender (a little firm yet).
- While the sweet potatoes are softening, layer the pork chops in the 9x13 or other skillet. They should not over lap but may be tightly arranged in the pan. Dab with a paper towel to dry off and season with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper.
- Slice the apples, removing the peels. Layer the apples on top of the pork chops.
- Slice the onions into large chunks. Pull apart the chunks and layer with the apples.
- Spread the apple sauce on top of the apples and onions.
- Finish with the softened sweet potato topping.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until the pork reaches 145-160 degrees.
