Oven @ 350. Season pork chops with salt & pepper. Mix together diced poato, sweet potato, onion, apples, and carrots in a bowl.
Spray oven-proof casserole pot with non-stick spray then add brown sugar and maple syrup - heat over med-high until melted then add pork chops. Brown both sides until nice and crusty brown.
Once brown, remove chops from pan and add 1/2 of diced mixture to cover the bottom of the pan. Place pork chops in a single layer over mixture then layer the remaining diced mixture on top. Spread the pineapple on top then pour chicken broth over all.
Cover and bake for 30 min (or until chops read approx 140 F on meat thermometer). Uncover and bake for approx 10 more min (until chops register 155 F). Remove from oven and let sit for 5 min before serving.
