Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

- Peel the apples and cut into 1-inch dice. Toss the apples with the lemon juice, some olive oil, salt and the rosemary. Lay them out on a sheet tray and place in the oven during the last 15 minutes of the cooking time for the sweet potatoes. When done, the apples should be soft and cooked through but still hold their shape. Sprinkle the walnuts over the apples during the last 5 minutes in the oven.

APPLE PORK ROAST WITH SWEET POTATOES, CARROTS, APPLES, AND SQUASH
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375F. Put roast in large roasting pan, fat side up. Pour apple cider into pan until pan is nearly full. About a quarter inch of roast should be above the cider. Then sprinkle roast liberally with ground cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg, to taste. Drop the cinnamon stick pieces into the cider around the roast. Then make a thick layer of brown sugar on top of the roast. Cover. Cook in oven for approximately 4 hours. Remove carefully from oven, and uncover. Add sweet potato chunks, and baby carrots. You may have to remove some juices to be able to add potatoes and carrots. Be sure to leave some room for other ingredients to be added later. Cover. Return to oven for one hour. Remove from oven, uncover. Add apples, and squash. Once again, you will probably have to remove juices to fit in apples and squash. By this time, ingredients will be packed pretty tight around roast. Recover, return to oven. Cook for one more hour. Remove from oven. Allow to cool a little, and serve.

CROCK POT SWEET POTATO APPLE PORK ROAST
This is an old recipe that I got from my mother, she never made it when I was younger because she doesn't like sweet potatoes. I have made this recipe now quite a few times and it always turns out moist and delicious. The mustard is optional, and I leave that out as my family doesn't like mustard, although I think it still tastes good with it. The sauce at the end is also optional, I have eaten it before without the sauce and it is still wonderful. The sauce adds a little extra touch though, but use it sparingly, or it will really overpower the great taste of the pork.
