Ingredients

Non-stick cooking spray
2 chipotle chile peppers in adobo sauce, chopped*
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 (2 1/2 pound) boneless pork shoulder roast
3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in 1-inch cubes
1 large onion, chopped
1 (21 ounce) can LUCKY LEAF® Premium Apple Pie Filling
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Directions

Lightly coat a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. In a small bowl, combine chipotle peppers, salt, pepper, and paprika. Rub mixture over the pork. Place pork in the slow cooker. Top with sweet potatoes, onion and LUCKY LEAF Apple Pie Filling.
Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 6 to 8 hours or on high-heat setting for 3 to 4 hours. Remove pork and apple mixture from slow cooker. Cover with foil and let stand 10 minutes. Transfer cooking liquid to a medium saucepan. Stir together 1/4 cup water and 3 tablespoons flour. Add to saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until mixture is thickened and bubbly; cook and stir 1 minute more. Slice pork and serve with apple mixture and thickened sauce.

Footnotes

*Because hot chile peppers, such as chipotles, contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with chiles as much as possible. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the chile peppers, wash your hands well with soap and water.
