Slow Cooker Pork Loin Roast

Nancy sent me a FB Message several months ago with a link to a video showing this recipe. I'm just now getting around to trying it. Here's the link to the YouTube video https://youtu.be/gn1PI2mLr98

I revised the recipe a little, browning the roast before putting it into the slow cooker, and increasing the cooking time from 3 hours to 6-8.

INGREDIENTS

3-4 pound pork loin roast

1 Granny Smith apple

1 medium sweet onion

Honey (about 1/4-1/2 cup)

1 Tbsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp salt

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Score top of roast by using a sharp knife to create about 8-10, 3" deep slits across the length of the roast. Season the roast with salt and pepper. Brown on all sides in a little olive oil in a cast iron skillet.

Core and thinly slice the apple. Remove the outer skin from the onion and both ends. Cut onion in half and thinly slice. Place browned roast into slow cooker. Place slices of apple into each slit. Put onions over top. Sprinkle with cinnamon and honey. Cover and cook on Low for 6-8 hours, or High 3-4 hours.
