Leftover Lunch

This probably only came together because I had the right kind of leftovers, but it was so good that i'm writing it down anyway. 

1 T. butter
1 small sweet potato, peeled and diced (1/8" to 1/4" cubes)
1 large apple, diced slightly larger than the sweet potato
~1 C. leftover pork roast, in bite size pieces
2 T. brown sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
2 T. apple juice, or more

Saute the sweet potato in the butter until it's starting to get soft, then add the apples.  Once everything is getting soft, add the pork, sugar, and cinnamon, and season with salt and pepper.  Use the apple juice to deglaze the pan.

I'm not sure on the amount of juice, because I just used a splash straight from the bottle.  If it seems dry, add more.  And if the potatoes need a little more time to soften, you can stick a lid on it and simmer on low for a few minutes.  (This is the incentive to cut them up small).

Served 1 hungry nursing mom and 2 little girls, so that's probably 2 regular adults.  I should've taken a picture of it, because it was actually a really yummy-looking dish!
