We all know that pork pairs really well with fruit - especially apples. The
inspiration for this recipe came from Pinterest. I took two recipes and melded them together –
and added a few twists of my own. This was super easy to make and the flavor of the warm spice with the apples and pork was delectable.
Ingredients:
2 small Pork
Picnic Roasts
2 Granny
Smith Apples, sliced into thin wedges (See pictures below the recipe)
1 White
Onion, sliced lengthwise (See pictures below the recipe) Separate the two
halves of onion because you’ll need half the onion for under the pork and half
the onion for the top.
6 cloves
garlic, chopped
1 Tsp. Salt
1 Tsp.
Cinnamon
½ Tsp. Black
Pepper
3 Tbls. Dry
white wine
Directions:
Combine the
salt, cinnamon & pepper in a small dish.
Score the Pork Roasts. Sprinkle
some of the spice mixture over the pork and rub into it – including into the
scored pieces. Slice one Granny Smith Apple. Place one slice of apple into each of the
cuts in the pork.
Place the
left-over apple slices and half the onion in the bottom of the crock pot. Add the garlic and the remaining spice
mixture. Toss together. Add the dry white wine. Place the two pork roasts on top of the
apple/onion mixture.
Slice the
remaining Granny Smith Apple. Arrange
over the pork. Arrange the remaining
half onion over the apples. Sprinkle a
little additional salt, pepper and cinnamon over the apples and onions. Put the lid on the crockpot.
Cook on high
for 1 hour. Reduce cooking temperature
to low and continue cooking for an additional 5 – 6 hours until the pork is
falling apart.
