By Linda Larsen, About.com

This delicious one dish crockpot recipe combines a pork sirloin roast with lots of vegetables, seasoned with allspice and apple butter.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 9 hours

Ingredients:

  • 3 lb. boneless pork sirloin roast
  • 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 2 acorn squash
  • 4 sweet potatoes, peeled
  • 1/2 cup apple butter
  • 3 Tbsp. prepared horseradish
  • 1 Tbsp. cornstarch

Top with browned pork roast.
