Pork Loin Roast in Crock Pot

I found the following recipe on Facebook. My husband hasn’t stopped raving about it.

PORK LOIN ROAST IN CROCK POT

INGREDIENTS:

• 3 lb pork loin
• 1 apple
• 1 onion
• honey
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp salt

DIRECTIONS:

1. Cut pork loin across top to make places to put the apple slices (approximately 1 cut every 1 inch)
2. slice apple and put sections in the cuts in the pork loin
3. put pork loin in crock pot
4. dice onion and put on top of roast
5. drizzle honey over roast and onions
6. add 1 tsp cinnamon
7. add 1 tsp salt
8. cook on low for 3 hours

NOTES:

• We’re spice wimpy, so I used half as much cinnamon and salt listed.
• I drizzled very little honey because we need low sugar.
• out pork loin was 4.5 lbs, so I just set the temperature to low and cooked it for 8 hours.

COMMENTS:

My husband was really enthusiastic about this. He said it was “YUMMY” a couple of times while eating it, and then at least a couple of times the next day. We ate another batch for another meal, and he wanted to put BBQ sauce on it, saying it reminded him of pulled pork – one of his favorite things. We didn’t have any sugar-free BBQ sauce, so I made a bit of gravy. (I found a recipe for sugar-free BBQ sauce I’m making today. Will let you know how things went later.) I think the rest of this will freeze nicely for us to enjoy at another time.
