The reviewer gave this recipe 2 stars. This recipe averages a 3.93 star rating.

The gravy was so salty it was impossible to eat. The roast was all right, but all the potatoes too mushy, and I didn't like the fact that they were cooked in all the juices/fat from the pork. Won't be making this again.

My grocery store was out of sweet potatoes so I substituted yams and it was quite good. I also used two apples after reading some of the other reviews and was glad that I did. Next time I will slice the potatoes a bit thicker as I found them a bit mushy and I didn't even cook the dish for the full 90 minutes. The sauce was also really tasty with the roast and I thought the amount of cinnamon was fine.

Delicious! Most negative reviews on this recipe were due either to the gravy being too salty or the cinnamon being too strong; what I found is that the two flavors, though both quite strong, blended extremely well to make a very savory dish. Even my 11-yr old son's friends loved it! I'll definitely be making this one again.

I only added a pinch of ginger to the apples, rubbed the loin with a pinch of mace and paprika, and baked the loin in an oven bag. It turned out beautifully: my entire family loved it. (My father doesn't like sweet things, and this was slightly sweet but not too sweet for him)

Made this for a luncheon. While setting it up everyone came out to see what they were having for lunch, because the fragrance was so great smelling. The roast was moist and tender. It was a delicious meal!

I thought this recipe was GREAT with a few changes, keeping all of the current reviews in mind. I cut my potatoes and apples (3) very thick, about 1 inch. I tossed the sweet potatoes and apples in 1 tsp. cinnamon and 1 tbsp. brown sugar and threw 2 cinnamon sticks over all and removed the sticks after roasting. (It gave a subtle flavor without being overpowering.) I seasoned the pork liberally with season salt and pepper and uncovered the dish about 20 minutes before removing from the oven to brown everything. I thought the gravy was good too, others thought it was too salty but I just tasted it before I poured it over the roast...you can always add more liquid. Thanks for the recipe, I will definately make again!!!

It was good but a little too much cinnamon, I think. The loin turned out really well though.

My family really liked this a lot. Made a few changes by seasoning pork with Old Bay, used 2 apples and mixed 1 tbls cinnamon with a handful of brown sugar for the sweet potatoes. For the gravy, used chicken broth instead of the bouillon. If you are a pork lover and want something different, try this recipe as you won't be disappointed. Enjoy!

This was absolutely delicious! I didn't make the gravy because I haven't found a bouillon without MSG. I am allergic to MSG and I don't like my family to have MSG anyway. I used pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon and did not add any processed sugar as others have. I don't like the idea of adding sugar to main courses.Thesweet potatoes covered in pumpkin pie spice and apples added plenty of sweetness. I thought it had the right amount of apples as you couldn't tell there were actually apples in the dish. But rather the apples acted as a "seasoning" and just created a yummy flavor. My 11 year old said the dinner tasted like Christmas...gave me that feel too.Perfect meal on a cold Autumn night.

I tried this recipe without the gravy and it was delicious. After shaking the sweet potatoes with the cinnamon and placing them around the pork loin, I sprinkled some of the leftover cinnamon on the pork loin before putting the apple slices on it. The pork loin was very tender and my family enjoyed it .

Pretty bland - roast needs seasoning. Apples and potatoes need to be cut up very thick. Know what to do next time.

We thought this was just okay. I followed the suggestions of other reviewers and sprinkled a little bit of brown sugar over the sweet potatoes and doubled the amount of apple. DH and I both found that the cinnamon overpowered the taste of both types of potatoes. The pork was good, I was reluctant to try the gravy though. DH convinced me and I'm glad he did - the gravy went very well with the pork. I made a slight modification to the gravy however, instead of using the water and chicken bouillon, I just used a half cup of chicken broth.

Yummy! This was so easy to prepare. Used the food processor to make slicing faster because I made 2 recipes of it at the same time for a friend. Season the roast with salt and pepper. My potatoes were sliced 4mm or about 3/8 inch and didn't need 1 1/2 hours of cooking. The apple I cut twice as thick as the potatoes and they were close to over done. You could easily double the apple as the potatoes way out number them. I didn't make the sauce to serve it with but I'll try it next time. This is an excellent company recipe.
