This custom cook gives the pork and sweet potato combo cook a fun fall-inspired twist. The apple cider sauce pairs well with the pork and gives the dish a slightly sweet and herbal flavor. You could easily make this sauce and pair it with any of the other Pork Chop combo cooks as well (with Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, etc.).
