Our Sweet Tater Dinner






I got this recipe from my brother over Thanksgiving. He fixed this pork chop and apple appetizer that was wonderful. It had a butter sauce over the top that was to die for! So, I took his idea and made up my own loaded sweet potato. I took 3 red apples and cut them into chunks. Then took a small pat of butter.....OK maybe 2 tablespoons and sauteed my apples in the butter. I added a few good handfuls of brown sugar (as Aunt JJ says, "If you think you added enough, go ahead and add a little more...of course she's talking about her baked beans, but that could apply for Apples right???) and a dash of salt. I let that cook together until we were ready to eat. In the meantime I toasted some pecans in a small skillet.


Luke took the chops and sliced green apples and placed them on the grill. I didn't marinade them at all...just salt and pepper. To plate, I took our sweet taters and cut them open. I salted and peppered them and then added the apple mixture. I topped it off with pecans. When you eat the pork chop eat it with a small piece of the Granny Smith apples...it's GOOD!!! This was the first time Luke was able to use his new grill set and he loved it! Thanks Mom and Dad! Enjoy the pics!
