Pork Apple Bake
This recipe is from a cookbook titled Casserole Cook Book by Better Homes & Gardens, printed in 1961. This recipe sounds very good, on my to make and taste list.
Equipment
- Oven
- Baking Pan (7x11 inch)
Ingredients
- 4 pork steaks, 1 inch thick
- salt and pepper, as desired
- 3 medium apples, unpeeled, cored, cut into 3rds
- 3 medium onions, cut into ½ inch slices
- 1 can sweet potatoes, drained, (16 oz / 454 g)
Instructions
- Trim fat from pork steaks, heat the fat in a large non stick pan, cook until you have about 2 tablespoons of melted fat in the pan then remove the solids.
- Brown the pork steaks in the hot fat on both sides, seasoning with salt and pepper as desired while browning.
- Preheat your oven to 180° C (350° F), get out a 7x11 inch baking pan.
- As the pork steaks are browned, place them in the baking pan, overlapping slightly.
- Place apple pieces and onion slices on each pork steak.
- Add sweet potatoes on top. Season with salt and pepper as desired. Pour in ½ cup water into the baking pan.
- Cover and bake for 1 hour. Uncover and bake for another 5-10 minutes or until pork is cooked through.
- Serve with sides of your choice, enjoy.
Notes
High cost per serving as I have not seen canned sweet potatoes, yet. I think the way to make this would be to use homemade sweet potatoes first and use that in this recipe, that would make this Low cost per serving. I do not have a homemade recipe for the sweet potatoes but will be adding one.
Variant: 1. I think pork chops would work well in this recipe, I will try this as well.
