Apple Pie Pork Loin (Slow Cooker Recipe)
Slow cooker apple pie pork loin gives you sweet and savory, juicy roast pork with only 5 ingredients added to the meat. With the slow cooker and a handy shortcut ingredient doing the heavy lifting, it’s an easy dinner that feels special enough for company but is simple enough to make on the busiest of days.
Bet you’d never think about adding a can of apple pie filling to pork loin, would you?
Well, that’s exactly what this slow cooker apple pie pork loin is.
Apple pie filling and pork loin.
Hear me out because it is a beautifully tasty combination of flavors.
There’s something about the combination of pork and apples that just works.
And the apple pie filling is already sweetened and seasoned with those cozy warming notes of cinnamon and nutmeg.
It’s not overpowering, especially when you add a hint of tangy mustard and the earthy, salty flavor of Worcestershire sauce.
The result is this sweet, savory combination kind of like honey mustard but with a decidedly cozy fall spin.
Serve it with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, green beans, or a simple salad to round out the meal, and don’t forget to spoon some of those sweet, flavorful apples over the pork before serving.
Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Pork loin– Look for one that is about 3 pounds.
- Onion– A large yellow onion, peeled and thinly sliced.
- Apple pie filling– A 21 ounce can.
- Mustard– Yellow mustard.
- Worcestershire sauce– For that salty umami flavor.
- Sugar– Brown.
How to Make
This slow cooker apple pie pork loin is so easy!
Just spread the sliced onions out in an even layer in the bowl of a slow cooker.
Put the pork loin in the center of the slow cooker bowl so it rests directly on top of the onions.
Stir the remaining ingredients together in a small bowl until they are evenly combined.
Pour the apple mixture overtop of the pork loin to cover.
Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours, or HIGH for 4 hours or until the pork is 145° and very tender.
Carefully transfer the hot to a cutting board and cut it into thin slices.
Serve the pork warm with some of the apple and onion mixture spooned overtop.
Enjoy!
Storing Leftovers
Store leftovers in the covered bowl of your slow cooker or an air tight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
Reheat it in the slow cooker or oven until the pork is hot all the way through.
Freezing
To freeze this, let the pork cool and cut it.
Transfer the cut pork into freezer safe ziplocking bags.
Freeze the pork for up to 3 months.
Defrost the pork overnight in the fridge before warming until the pork is hot throughout.
Tips and Tricks
- Pair with mashed potatoes or steamed white rice to make it a meal. It also pairs well with egg noodles and crusty bread or rolls.
- Let the pork rest for 3 to 5 minutes after you pull it out of the slow cooker before you slice it to keep it juicy and tender.
- Slice the pork against the grain. Cutting the pork into thin slices against the grain makes each bite more tender and easier to eat.
