Oven Pork Roast With Applesauce, Baby Potatoes, Gravy and Aspara image

From the August 2009 Costco Connection and directions copy/paste for ease from http://www.keyingredient.com/recipes/205812/oven-pork-roast-with-applesauce-baby-potatoes-gravy-and-asparagus/ (I double-checked the directions & corrected) This one does require work the night before, but it isn't difficult, and it is a piece of cake the next day - just stick it in the oven. The 4-6 servings assumes 1/3 of the roast is left over.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pork. The applesauce and gravy are a great way to add flavor and moisture to the pork. I will definitely be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the pork roast came out overcooked. I think I should have cooked it for less time.
