This Crockpot Apple Pulled Pork is a surprisingly delicious slow cooker meal! If you love applesauce with pork you are going to love this recipe!
Crockpot Apple Pulled Pork is for the apple lovers!
My dad is the person that introduced me to applesauce and pork, so it’s thanks to him that this delicious slow cooker pork recipe came to be! I had apple juice and a pork roast, so naturally, I thought why not pair the two of them together in the slow cooker? It worked like a charm! I wanted to make a pulled pork recipe that was delicious, but wasn’t all saucy/BBQ saturated flavor.
What kind of roast do I used for pulled pork?
Any fatty pork roast will do! You don’t want to use ham, that’s different meat entirely. You want a butt roast or a shoulder roast that has a large amount of fat. The fat will break down and leave you with delicious shredded pork.
Crockpot Apple Pulled Pork Tips & Tricks
- Make sure to get a fatty pork roast or the end result will be too dry.
- You have to cook these types of pork roasts low and slow! Allow for all day cooking and by the time it’s done you will have a perfect crockpot apple pulled pork.
- You can use the juices left in the crockpot with the pork and serve it on top. I wouldn’t make it into a gravy but simple drizzle some on top when serving. It has a great apple taste!
Enjoy!
