Ingredients

• 3 pounds pork loin roast
• 2 large apples
• 1 cup dried apricots
• 0.5 cup cranberries (fresh or dried)
• 1.5 cups apple cider
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Set them aside.

Step 2

Place the pork loin roast in the bottom of your slow cooker.

Step 3

Scatter the apple slices, dried apricots, and cranberries around and on top of the pork roast.

Step 4

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the apple cider, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and black pepper. Pour the mixture over the pork and fruit in the slow cooker.

Step 5

Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or until the pork is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 145°F).

Step 6

Once the pork is cooked, carefully remove it from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board, tenting it with foil to rest.

Step 7

Turn the slow cooker to high heat. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to make a slurry. Stir the slurry into the cooking liquid and fruits in the slow cooker.

Step 8

Allow the sauce to thicken for about 5-10 minutes while stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Slice the pork roast and serve it with the fruited sauce spooned over the top. Enjoy!
