One Pot Maple Pork Roast

I love the hints of sweetness that marry so nicely in this one pot pork roast.  The sweet potato, onions, and apples all get sweeter when slow cooked and the maple syrup just deepens the flavor to balance them perfectly.  Paired with a green salad or vegetable, it’s the perfect cozy meal on a winter’s day.
