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.

Tips:
- To ensure the pork roast is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare, 155°F (68°C) for medium, or 165°F (74°C) for well-done.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the pork by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the roast. If the juices run clear, the pork is done.
- For a more flavorful roast, marinate the pork in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme for at least 2 hours before cooking.
- To prevent the apples and sweet potatoes from burning, toss them in a mixture of olive oil, salt, and pepper before roasting.
- If you are using a convection oven, reduce the cooking time by 25%.
