How to make Slow Cooker Apple Cinnamon Pork Loin Roast

Ingredients

• 2-pound boneless pork loin roast
• 3 medium apples, sliced Honeycrisp Apples
• ¼ cup honey (optional)
• 1 red onion, halved and sliced
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• sea salt, to taste
• freshly ground pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Prepare the pork loin: Pat the pork loin roast dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Rub this mixture all over the pork loin, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
2. Using a sharp knife, cut 3-inch deep slits into the pork.
3. Insert the apple slices into each pork slit.
4. Place half of the remaining apples in the bottom of a slow cooker.
5. Place the roast over the apples.
6. Drizzle the honey on top of the roast, then add the onion and remaining apples.
7. Add the chicken stock and sprinkle everything with cinnamon.
8. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
9. Rest: Remove the pork loin from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast. Tent loosely with foil to keep warm.

Serve the roasted pork loin with apples and cinnamon immediately after slicing for the best flavor and texture. It pairs well with roasted vegetables like Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, or asparagus. A side of creamy mashed potatoes or polenta would also be a delicious addition.
