Apple Pork Roast


My meat CSA rocks.  I love the variety of cuts of meat that I get and it challenges me to be a culinary creative.  My hubby was home on vacation this week, so I had to amp up my cooking game for a few days.  The idea of a pork roast at first just had me thinking hot sticky cooking.  Not too good after these few days of scorching temperatures.  So I decided to use a crockpot and lighten the dish up with the sweet taste of apples.  This was a super easy recipe and was just so delicious.


Ingredients:
3 to 4 pound pork shoulder roast seasoned with salt and pepper. 
3 apples peeled and chopped
1 small onion chopped roughly
1/2 to 3/4 of jar of cinnamon flavored applesauce
cinnamon

Place the onions and apples at the bottom of the crockpot. Sprinkle with some cinnamon. Take the seasoned pork roast and place in a frying pan.  Just brown the outsides.  Then place the roast on top of the apples and onions.  Pour the applesauce over the roast.  Sprinkle a little more cinnamon on top.  Cover and cook on high for 8 hours.

The meat is so tender and goes well with the soft sweet apples.
