Crock Pot Pork Loin With Sweet Potatoes And Apples
This is a hearty dish which feeds a crowd. Cooks long and slow all day. this dish of sweet potatoes, nuts, apples, cider and maple brings all the flavors of fall to one dish.
Steps
Stuffing -- mix the cranberries , pecans and herb cheese and spread on the inside of the pork loin along with a little salt and pepper and tie up with kitchen twine.
Season the loin well with salt and pepper and pan saute in a large pan in olive oil until lightly brown on each side and transfer to a crock pot.
Vegetables -- to the crock pot add the potatoes , apples , onions and then top with all the herbs , seasoning , maple syrup , cider and white wine.
Cover and cook 10-12 hrs on low , or 7-9 on medium high.
Once done , remove and let set before slicing.
I take the vegetables out and transfer to a bowl and cover.
I like to add a little corn starch to some sauce to make a slurry to lightly thicken the sauce.
This is optional.
Top the pork loin with the vegetable mixture and a little gravy for a great dinner.
