It’s no secret that I love using my slow cooker. It’s the key to getting a delicious dinner on the table with a minimum of fuss. This shredded apple pork recipe is the perfect way to marry the flavors of fall with this handy appliance. Using a bit of apple butter, some apple cider vinegar, and fresh apples will really bring your apple flavor home when combined with your pork loin chops. I like to think of this as an autumn version of pulled pork, minus the bbq flavor, but still with that touch of sweetness kids love. I serve it with buttered egg noodles or mashed potatoes and a green veggie for a balanced plate.
