This delectable main is full of unique flavors and oh-so-easy with only 10 minutes of prep time. Set it up in the morning and have dinner ready when you arrive home from work. Serve the pork and vegetables over a bed of cooked quinoa to capture all the delicious juices. This recipe is a wonderful way to introduce picky eaters to Brussels sprouts as the apples bring a familiar sweetness and the shredding allows them to get very tender. Tart, firm apples are important for this recipe’s success: the honey-mustard sauce will get sweeter as it cooks, so it needs to be balanced by Granny Smith or other tart baking apples.
