How to Make Sweet Potato Apple Pork Chops!

Step-by-Step

Heat oil in large non-stick skillet, medium heat. Add pork chops, cook 3 minutes on each side thick 5 minutes each side).
Peel, cut up sweet potatoes into small cubes. Slice onions and dice. Remove chops from skillet and keep warm.
Add sweet potatoes and onion to skillet, saute 3 to 4 minutes, until tender.
Combine brown sugar, cornstarch, salt (optional), vinegar, and orange juice. Mix well. My Family is low sodium diet, so I don't use salt in my recipe for my family.
Return chops to skillet with sweet potatoes and onions, pour Orange Juice mixture over pork chops.
Cover skillet, reduce heat, and simmer for 40 to 60 minutes or until chops are tender. The last 15 minutes of cooking, add chopped apple on top of pork chops.
Season lightly with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors and based on your tastes!
Cooking Tip Optional: Add a 2 Tablespoons of Gran Marnier at the end of cooking process to give the sauce some additional flair.
