Slow Cooker Pork Roast with Apples
 
 
Author:
Recipe type: Slow Cooker, Pork
Ingredients
  • 3-4 pound pork roast (either pork shoulder or pork loin) - trimmed of visible fat, rinsed and dried with paper towel, seasoned with salt and pepper
  • 6-7 tart cooking apples - peeled, cored and quartered
  • ⅓ cup apple juice, fruity white wine or Champagne
  • ¼ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1½ teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
  1. Preheat a large skillet on high heat. Add a little oil to the pan. Once oil is hot, toss the pork roast into the hot pan and brown on all sides.
  2. Throw all the apples into the slow cooker. Put the browned roast on top of the apples in the slow cooker.
  3. Combine apple juice, brown sugar and ginger in a small bowl and pour over roast.
  4. Cover and cook on high for 1 hour. Reduce to low heat and cook until fork tender for 7 to 8 hours. I think we just cooked ours on medium for 7-8 hours to avoid the hassle of changing the temp after an hour.
  5. After it’s cooked, if your pork is still in a solid state (not completely shredded) you can transfer to a warm platter and let it rest 10 minutes before serving. Our pork had completely fallen off the bones and resembled a pulled pork – this is probably because we used a roast instead of the suggested pork loin.
  6. Serve over rice, mashed potatoes or other starch.
