You will need:

• 1/4 c. packed brown sugar
• 1/4 c. butter, melted
• 1 tbsp. cider vinegar
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper
• 2 medium red cooking apples (approximately 2 cups), sliced
• 2 medium sweet potatoes (approximately 2 1/2 cups), peeled and sliced
• 1 medium spanish onion, chopped
• 2 pork chops

What to do:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, butter, garlic powder, vinegar and pepper. Set aside 2 tbsp. of the mixture. This will be used for the pork chops in a minute.

Add the apples, sweet potatoes, and onion to the remaining butter-cider mixture. In a roasting pan, spread the mixture evenly and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for about 20 minutes.

In the meantime, brush pork chops with the butter-cider mixture that was set aside earlier. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat until hot. Drizzle a little olive oil if it is a non-stick pan. Brown the pork on each side, cooking for about 3 minutes per side.

After the roasting pan has been in the oven for 20 minutes, remove the foil and place pork chops in the apple-potato mix. Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes.
