Slow Cooker Apple Pork Roast: Pork loin that has been coated in a savory dry rub and stuffed with apples, is braised all day in the slow cooker with a tangy and sharp mustard and cider sauce. 

I am at it again: ANOTHER slow cooker recipe. And you are SO WELCOME!!!

Come on, is there really anything better than coming home to a delicious meal waiting for you in the slow cooker? I thought not. 

And since a slow cooker pork recipe is my ALL time viewed recipe on my site–Pork Carnitas with Mexican Slaw,  with BBQ Pulled Pork a running close second, I thought it was high time I shared another crock pot pork loin recipe with you.

This time I step away from the Mexican flare, and step into a delightfully tangy and spiced pork that is perfect for Fall.

Slow Cooker Apple Cider Pork Roast 

Apples and pork are a match made in heaven–for real, it is true. When you toss mustard into the mix–well, tastebuds are blown!

Seriously, just 3 simple ingredients create this easy crock pork loin recipe that is fail-proof (and happens to be Paleo and Gluten-Free) as well.

Star Ingredients in Slow Cooker Pork Roast:

• Apple Cider (hard cider in my case)
• Mustard–I prefer a grainy Dijon but any mustard you have on hand will work
• Pork Loin Roast–for this recipe a boneless pork roast is best, but of course you can use a bone-in pork loin roast if that is all you can find or have on hand.

Throw these 3 ingredients into your crock pot with a few other staples you have on hand and be prepared to have an incredible dinner.

This slow cooker apple pork roast is one of the EASIEST, most flavorful meals you will ever make, and if your family is like mine–they will be begging for it again and again.

Notes on Crock-Pot Pork Loin with Apples:

• I use a pork loin roast because it is lean and tender. A pork tenderloin or pork butt can be substituted. I would only cook the pork tenderloin for 6 hours on high and the pork butt can be cooked up to 10 hours on low in your slow cooker.
• Any variety of apples can be used, or you can omit the apples from the cooking process. I like to slice up raw apples to serve as well for variety in textures.
• If you don’t have apple cider or hard cider on hand, use Apple Juice or Chicken Stock.
• I recommend serving this pork with my Hasselback Sweet Potatoes—they pair beautifully with this pork dish and are super easy themselves. But classic mashed potatoes work as well. Even honey roasted carrots from Real Housemom’s would pair beautifully with this slow cooker pork dish.
• This Apple Pork Roast is great leftover on sandwiches–or even as Pork Loin Sandwiches with Brussel Sprout Slaw.
