Pork, Apples and Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 4 (1 inch thick) pieces of pork from the least expensive part of the pork butt
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 Tbsp. flour
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 2 Tbsp. oil or fat
• 1 (1 lb. 2 oz.) can sweet potatoes, drained
• 2 medium apples, unpeeled but cored and sliced thick
• 1 cup water
• 1 chicken bouillon
• 1 - 2 Tbsp. melted butter
• a sprinkle of sugar, optional

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Rub the salt and flour into the pork pieces. Fry them in the oil or fat until nicely browned. Remove from pan and set aside. Fry the onion until soft and clear. Return the pork pieces and top with the onions. Slice the sweet potatoes and arrange on top of the onions. Arrange the sliced apples on top of the potatoes and sprinkle with the melted butter and sugar. Dissolve the bouillon in the hot water and pour around the meat, but not over the apples. Cover and bake about an hour, until the pork is tender.

When done, put under the broiler just to brown the apples.
