Slow Cooker Apple Stuffed Honey Pork

Traditions have always said to start the new year off with Pork and Sauerkraut but, sauerkraut isn't my favorite thing so I decided to try something new! Here's a great recipe for us non-sauerkraut pork lovers!

Slow Cooker Apple Stuffed Honey Pork

Ingredients:
2.5-3 lb Pork Loin
3 Red Delicious Apples
Approx 4 Tbsp Honey
Approx 2 Tbsp Cinnamon

Directions:
1. Slice up the 3 apples and put 2 apples worth of slices on the bottom of the slow cooker. Top with half of the cinnamon.


2. Cut slices across the pork, about 1/2" apart. Squeeze honey into each cut and then stuff with one apple slice.  

3. Place pork in slow cooker. Spread remaining honey on top. Top with remainder of apple slices and cinnamon.


4. Cook on low for about 6 hours. Pork temperature needs to reach 145 degrees. 


Enjoy!!


A few notes:
*Even with the cinnamon and honey, it wasn't too sweet, I was pleasantly surprised.
*This is a great paleo recipe (obviously minus to the rice side!)
*The apples are great to enjoy with dinner or you could blend them in a food processor to make a quick apple sauce!
