First time I made this I used applewood rub instead of thyme and it turned out great. My kids didn't care to much for the sweet potatoes though. I'm makeing another one now and chose to use plain white potatoes. Great recipe!!!

Super easy to make - put it in the crock pot and forget about it!! The apple juice gave the veggies and the meat a great flavor. Pork was tender and very good! Whole family enjoyed it!

This was wonderful. I took some of the juice from the pot and made a gravy. The apple juice gave the sweet potatoes a wonderful flavor. The thyme went well with the flavors going on as well. Will definately make again.
