INGREDIENTS:
3 medium garnet yams or sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1/4 cup skim milk
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tsp unsalted butter
3/4 tsp kosher salt
3/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup frozen apple juice concentrate, thawed
2 tbsp grated onion or shallot
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp apple pie spice
3 large Golden Delicious apples, cut crosswise into 4 thick slices
8 (2-oz each) thin-cut boneless loin pork chops, about 1/2-inch thick
