CrockPot Apple Cider Pork Roast

I use my handy dandy  instant pot for my slow cooker pork roast recipes now.  In fact I use my instant pot for all of my slow cooker recipes.

I broke my crock pot awhile ago.  I replaced it with the instant pot. Same footprint. WAY more functionality.

I love that I can leave my instant pot on the slow cooker function and not worry about over cooking the recipes. Just set the timer and go. The instant pot will keep it warm for me until we are ready to eat. I love that versatility.

The result is an amazingly tender and flavorful dinner the whole family loves. Wonderful.

My husband adores apples and pork. He always asks for homemade applesauce to dip his pork roast in except when I make this recipe. He just piles on the sweet cooked apples and raisins over his meat and happily munches away!

 

If you are feeling really lazy drop a bunch of carrots into the crockpot with everything else. Sweet, Juicy and oh so good with the pork and applesauce. And it keeps dinner all in one pot.
