When cooked on low in a slow cooker, a pork loin roast becomes tender, moist, juicy and down right delectable. This is one of those recipes that’s all about slow and steady wins the race, just like those small sweet moments you have to grab hold of when you have the chance.

Ingredients

Slow Cooker Pork Roast with Apples and Onions

Instructions

1
Melt oil or butter in a large sauté pan (or use your slow cooker if it’s safe to sauté with) over medium high heat. Season pork with salt and pepper and sauté on each side for a total of 4 minutes. Set aside.
2
Place the remaining ingredients in a slow cooker and top with pork.
3
Cook the pork for 5-6 hours on LOW (about 1 1/4 hours per pound) until pork is cooked through and the fruit and vegetables are fork tender. The National Pork Board recommends cooking pork chops, loin roasts and tenderloin to an internal temperature between 145°F (medium rare) and 160°F (medium), followed by a three-minute rest.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Sear Before Slow Cooking 🔥
    Brown the pork loin in olive oil or butter on all sides before adding to the slow cooker to develop a rich crust and deepen the overall flavor profile of the dish.
  • Apple Selection Timing ⏰
    Add Pink Lady or Gala apples in the last 45 minutes of cooking to prevent them from becoming mushy while still allowing them to infuse the liquid with subtle sweetness.
  • Maximize Cinnamon Flavor 🌰
    Toast the ground cinnamon lightly in a dry pan before adding to the slow cooker to unlock its aromatic oils and create a more complex, warming spice profile.
  • Purple Cabbage Texture Secret 🎨
    Layer the purple cabbage on top rather than underneath to maintain some texture and prevent it from completely dissolving into the braising liquid.
  • Liquid-to-Meat Ratio 💧
    Use apple juice over chicken stock for a more cohesive flavor profile, and ensure liquid reaches only halfway up the pork roast to prevent steaming and maintain optimal tenderness.
