{Recipe} Savory Pork Roast with Apple Stuffing

Pork is considered the other white meat and we love pork recipes. Most pork recipes that we use are healthy recipes. Enjoy this recipe from my friend Diane which is a perfect fall apple recipe.

2 medium RED apples, chopped with skin to equal about 2 cups

1/2 cup chopped celery (optional...I like it better without!)

Diane has the most beautiful Rosemary plant and is blessed to live where she can have it growing all year. I love these pictures where she shows the sprigs, how to remove the rosemary and then chop with her hand choper.
