Autumn Pork Chops

Submitted by Beverly Caprett of Berea

This recipe is a bit different, as you don't measure your ingredients as much as you prepare for the number of people to enjoy it!

Add or subtract amounts to fit your family size and tastes.

1 or 2 pork chops per person
1 small raw sweet potato (or yam) per person
1 apple per person - your favorite kind (we enjoy Rome or Yellow Delicious)
1/2 white or yellow onion per person (or more if your family loves cooked onions)
Salt and pepper
Cinnamon and sugar
Brown Sugar
Apple juice

Clean the onions and slice - place in bottom of crock pot. Clean potatoes well and slice into thick slices. Place on top of onions. Sprinkle with a bit of brown sugar and salt if desired.

Rinse pork chops with clear running water, trim off any large pieces of fat and place in crock pot over sweet potatoes, salt and pepper as you see fit.

Peel and slice apples. Place over pork chops.

Sprinkle apples with cinnamon and sugar.

Pour in apple juice to cover 1/3 of the mixture.

Set crock pot on high for 2 hours, then set to low to finish - will take a good 3 hours or more, depending on how full the pot is.

You may need to experiment with your crock pot size and fullness.
Of course, just like any other crock pot meal, it can sit on low after it's finished without harm.
Serve to plates right from the crock pot.

I found this recipe on Flylady.net from a grandma from Holmes County, Ohio. It fills your whole house with a wonderful smell.

My kids can smell it before they even come in the front door when I cook this.

It's one of their favorite meals.
