Servings: persons

2 1/2 lbs pork loin, butterflied
3 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in 2-inch pieces
2 apples, granny smith, cut into thick wedges
2 onions, medium, cut in half and then thin sliced
1/2 cup apple cider
1/2 cup white wine
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons fresh thyme
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 bay leaf
6 tablespoons maple syrup
5 ounces herb cheese spread
1/2 cup pecans, fine chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped
1/8 cup cornstarch, to thicken the sauce
salt and pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil, to saute

1
Stuffing -- Mix the cranberries, pecans and herb cheese and spread on the inside of the pork loin along with a little salt and pepper and tie up with kitchen twine. Season the loin well with salt and pepper and pan saute in a large pan in olive oil until lightly brown on each side and transfer to a crock pot.
2
Vegetables -- To the crock pot add the potatoes, apples, onions and then top with all the herbs, seasoning, maple syrup, cider and white wine. Cover and cook 10-12 hrs on low, or 7-9 on medium high.
3
Once done, remove and let set before slicing. I take the vegetables out and transfer to a bowl and cover. I like to add a little corn starch to some sauce to make a slurry to lightly thicken the sauce. This is optional.
4
Top the pork loin with the vegetable mixture and a little gravy for a great dinner.
