Notes

Oven Instructions:
You can make this dish in the oven by layering apples and onions in a Dutch oven, placing the seared pork on top, and cooking covered at 325°F for about three hours. Puree the cooked apples and onions, shred the pork, and combine with the sauce.
Store leftover pork in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Leftover Remix Ideas: 
Keep leftover slow cooker apple pork roast in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. To reheat, warm on the stove over low or in the microwave. Try adding leftover pork to a roll with some coleslaw, or serve with mashed potatoes or rice for a quick meal.
TIPS:
  • If the apple sauce is too thick after blending, thin it with a splash of water or wine.
  • Too thin? Stir in a spoonful of applesauce or a mix of flour and water to thicken.
  • Internal temperature of pork should reach at least 145°F for safe eating.
  • If using pork shoulder, expect the sauce to be a little richer due to the extra fat.
