STEW:
3 Tbsp all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground thyme
1/8 tsp pepper
1 lb boneless pork loin chops, trimmed of fat, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1 Tbsp oil
2 c apple cider or juice
1 c water
3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (3 cups)
2 medium red baking apples, unpeeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (2 cups)
1 c cut green onions (1/2 inch long)
2 Tbsp water
DUMPLINGS:
1 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 c buttermilk

1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

1. In a medium bowl, combine 3 Tbsp. flour, salt, thyme and pepper; mix well. Add pork cubes. Stir to evenly coat. Place the coated pork chops on waxed paper; reserve remaining flour mixture.

Add all remaining stew ingredients except 2 Tbsp. water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 45 to 60 minutes, or until pork is tender, stirring occasionally.
3. In a small bowl, combine 2 Tbsp. water and reserved flour mixture; blend until smooth. Add to stew; cook and stir 2 to 4 minutes or until thickened.
4. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. In medium bowl, combine 1 cup flour, baking powder and 1/4 tsp. salt; mix well. Add buttermilk, cheese and parsley; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened.
