Delicious Apple Cider Pork Loin in the Slow Cooker
Apple cider pork loin is a great dish for Fall when you can get fresh apples from the local orchards. You can also make it year round since we do have apples in the stores :). It is a perfect dish for your slow cooker. You can put it in the crock pot and let it do all the work. The cider and apples give it a subtle, not over powering flavor that is just delicious. The raisins add additional savory flavor and a hint of sweetness.
This could be served with mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and some warm bread and green beans. A delicious alternative to turkey at Thanksgiving or Christmas as well.
What Ingredients Are Needed?
Pork Loin
3 cups Apple Cider
1/2 cup raisins
1 apple cut into slices
What Type of Apples Are Needed?
I used a Fuji apples as they are a great baking apple and soften well when cooked. You can also use granny smith apples as well or your favorite baking apple.
Can I Make a Gravy?
Once the apple cider pork loin is done, you can also take the liquid from the slow cooker and reduce it down until thick for a nice glaze over your pork loin.
How Can I Tell When the Pork Loin is Done?
You should be able to put a fork in it and when you twist it falls apart. This is fork tender.
