Crock Pot Pulled Pork and Apples Recipe

For hectic days or special events, this simple slow cooker pulled pork and apples recipe creates a tasty supper for the whole family.

 

 

Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 lbs pork shoulder roast*
  • 2 tsp dried paprika
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1.5 tsp Sea saltto taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepperto taste
  • 1 large yellow onionfinely chopped
  • 2 medium-sized apples**
  • 6 large cloves garlicminced
  • 1 1/2 cups unfiltered apple cider
  • 1 cup chicken broth or beef broth
  • 3 Tbsp cider vinegar
  •  Tbsp molasses

 

Instructions

Take out the netting, if used, and place the pork roast onto a sizable platter. Add paprika, oregano, cumin, sea salt, and black pepper to the meat’s entire surface, then gently massage the flavors in.

Chop the onion and garlic and add them to the slow cooker’s bottom. In the same way, add the chopped apples and the seasoned pork roast to the slow cooker.

In a measuring cup, combine the apple cider, broth, cider vinegar, and molasses; stir thoroughly. Transfer this blend into the slow cooker.

 

Remove the netting if any, and transfer the pork roast to a large dish. Season the entire surface of the meat with paprika, oregano, cumin, sea salt, and black pepper. Gently work the spices into the meat.

Chop the onion and garlic and place them in the bottom of the slow cooker. Similarly, add the seasoned pork roast to the slow cooker along with the chopped apples.

 

Mix the molasses, cider vinegar, broth, and apple cider together in a measuring cup and stir well. Spoon this mixture into the slow cooker.

To make crispy pork, place some of the meat in a single layer on a large baking sheet and broil for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the pork is as crispy as you like. Alternatively, you may sear the pork over high heat in a cast-iron skillet on the stovetop.

 

Notes

If you have access to a bone-in pork roast, you can use that instead of the boneless one that I use.

Pick your preferred variety of apples! I enjoy using honey crisp apples, Fuji apples, Gala apples, and Envy apples.

How to Serve Pulled Pork

Pulled pork is most frequently served in pork sandwiches. If you choose this path, toast some sandwich bread or hamburger buns, pour some butter on them, top with cheese, and then stuff them full of your pulled pork.

I also add some fresh apple slices.

 

If you’d like, you can also drown pulled pork sandwiches in barbecue sauce. Serve The Best Potato Salad alongside pulled pork sandwiches.

Using slider buns and your preferred barbecue sauce, create pulled pork sliders with optional toppings like coleslaw.

 

I adore assembling pulled pork burrito bowls with brown rice, sautéed vegetables, avocado, and any kind of salsa or sauce. Grated cheese is another option for this extravagant dish. For extra flavor, I pour the remaining juices over everything.

Pork leftovers can also be used to make pork nachos or tacos.
