CROCK POT PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLES AND SWEET POTATOES
This is easy, and slow cooked. Very tender and great flavor. Apples, nutmeg, rosemary, onions, apple cider, white wine and slow roasted. A great slow cooked easy dish. Try a salad with blue cheese dressing and some fresh rosemary beer bread and you have the perfect fall Sunday Football Meal!! I make this all the times for my pool gang. I play pool 1-2 times per week with 5 guys (the girlfriends too) and I usually cook. This is one of the meals for our Sunday night games. It cooks all day while you do other things. You don't lift a finger other than the last hour when I make my beer bread (1 pan wonder) and make a salad). Please give it a try!

Steps:
- Pork -- In a large saute pan add 1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat to medium. Season the pork loin well with salt and pepper and sear on medium heat until golden brown on all sides. Just a minute or less per side.
- Crock pot -- Add the pork to the crock pot. To the pan with pork drippings add the apple cider and just deglaze the pan and stir/scrape up all the drippings with a spatula. Add immediately to the crock pot.
- Add everything else to the crock pot, vegetables, seasoning, butter, apples, pears, wine, onions, sweet potatoes, etc and just cook.
- Cook -- 8-10 hours on low or 6-8 hours on high.
- Enjoy -- Slice thin and serve. You can thicken the sauce if you want with a little slurry of corn starch and water but I find that the potatoes and pork soak up most of the juices. The onion and apples are sweet and everything is just perfect. Just a small salad.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F, then coat the inside of a 9"x9" baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, combine salt, cinnamon, cardamom & pepper.
- In a large bowl, place the sweet potato slices & sprinkle them with just 1/2 teaspoon of the spice mixture & just 1 1/2 teaspoons of the oil, then toss to coat.
- Arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer in the prepared baking pan, then bake uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the pork tenderloin in half, then rub the remaining oil over the pork, before coating it with the remaining spice mixture.
- Place the coated pork halves over the sweet potato slices & bake for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut each apple into 8 wedges, & when the pork has baked for 15 minutes, turn the pork over & arrange the apples around the meat.
- Bake another 15 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 145 degrees F ~ That's my reading, but if you're a traditionalist, you'll want it to read 160 degrees F!

Ladle cooking liquid over apples and sweet potatoes, turn tenderloins over, and continue baking until pork is slightly pink at the center, about 20 minutes longer.

CROCK POT PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLES
This is such an easy recipe to make - Put it in the Crock Pot & forget it. I like to add 1 tsp chili flakes. Add salt if you wish. You may use Country style ribs or loin chops but you must trim off all the fat. I find that sometimes cooking too long in the crock pot dries out the meat and found after 4 hours this was just right then turned it to keep warm for 2 more hours - It was wonderful. I found this recipe on the Internet

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.
