Pork. It’s the other white meat.
Lately, I’ve been feeling so ready for Fall, I think I’ve been trying to coerce it by making dishes, doing activities, and dressing as if it were already here. As I write this, it’s a bit chilly out, but in my book, if the leaves aren’t colorful, it’s still Summer. Cheers to wishful thinking. This warm apple-cinnamony aroma will fill your whole house.
Apple Cinnamon Slow Cooker Porkloin
Serves 5-6
3 pounds porkloin
3 red delicious apples, sliced
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons cinnamon
1 cup red onion, sliced
Lay several apples in the base of the slow cooker. Slice slits into porkloin horizontally about 3/4 inch deep. Drizzle honey into slits and fill each with an apple slice.
Transfer porkloin to slow cooker. Drizzle with any remaining honey and cover with apples and onions.
The onions help cut the flavor, otherwise this would be a huge mouthful of unrelenting sweetness. Sprinkle with cinnamon and cook on low for 7 hours.

To die for!!
Do you add any liquid to the slow cooker with the roast? Seems it would be really dry if you didn’t add water or broth.
I do not, but you definitely can if that’s your personal preference.
Are you supposed to add water when cooking this in the crockpot? If so, how much?
You do not need to.
My pork is only 1.30lbs. Should I change the amount of time it is cooked in the crock pot?

I would try the same time, but just be sure to check for done-ness.
I would like to know how to save your recipes.I am making this recipe tomorrow.Can’t wait to eat it.Love all your food.glad I found your blog.
Hey I was wondering if there was a substitute for the pork loin. (some of my family doesn’t eat pork but love the recipe idea)
turkey breast add a little apple juice and some garlic gloves
What would you suggest the best side dish would be to accompany this dish? Thanks – making it tomorrow!
Mashed potatoes or something else neutral because the pork itself is very flavorful.

Can this be made in an oven instead of slow cooker?
http://www.ehow.com/how_4926523_convert-cooker-times-oven-time.html
which would come out to an hour and 45 minutes, i believe, at 325 degrees F?
eHow says, “Convert the time. If the recipe required that the food needed to cook for a certain amount of time on “Low,” divide that number by 4 to get the oven time at 325 degrees F. If the dish needs to cook in a slow cooker on “Low” for 8 hours, it will only take 2 hours, covered, at 325 degrees F.”
