Bbq Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Barbecue Pulled Pork Sandwiches are one of those things I tend to crave during the summer months. That is why this Slow Cooker Apple Barbeque Pulled Pork is so great. You can make the pulled pork in the crockpot without heating up the entire house.
Make the slaw, layer it up on a bun and enjoy!

Slow Cooker Apple Barbeque Pulled Pork
Ingredients
- Pork
- 4-5 lb Bone-In Pork Shoulder Roast
- 1 large Onion
- 2 Tb Salt
- 2 Tb Pepper
- 2 Tb Olive Oil
- Cooking Liquid
- 2 cups Fresh Pressed Apple Juice*
- 1/4 cup Raw Apple Cider Vinegar I use Bragg
- 1 Tb Sea Salt
- 1 Tb Pepper
- 1/2 cup Organic Ketchup
- 1/2 Tb Unsulphured Molasses
- 2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 5 Garlic Cloves chopped
- 2 Tb Whole Grain Dijon Mustard
- 2 Tb Honey
- Bbq Sauce
- 2 cups Strained Cooking Liquid
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Organic Ketchup
Instructions
- Cover and cook on high heat for 6-7 hours or on low heat for 8-9 hours.
- Once the pork is done and falling off the bone, remove from the slow cooker.
- Transfer pork to a cutting board and pull apart.
- Bbq Sauce
- Before making the sauce I use a couple of slices of old bread to soak up some of the pork fat off of the top of the cooking liquid then discard fatty bread slices. (optional)
- Transfer 2 cups of strained cooking liquid to a small saucepan and add the brown sugar and ketchup. (add a bit more brown sugar for a sweet sauce)
- Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Cook for approximately 10 minutes or until thickened, stir regularly.
- This will be enough sauce for half of the pulled pork. If you will be eating all of the pork as bbq, double this sauce recipe.
- Toss half of the pulled pork with the sauce and eat as is or on a sandwich roll/bun.

Yummy, this is on our to make list this week. One question, what size slow cooker are you using for this recipe?
Hi Rebecca! I use a 6 quart slow cooker. Thanks for asking, I should list that in my slow cooker recipes from now on. Have a great week!
Thanks!
Dear Nicole,
Just tried this recipe and EVERYONE loved it! I have a large crock pot, so i doubled the cooking liquid recipe so that the liquid would come half-way up the pork. I cannot wait to make this again. My son loved it so much he checked-out your blog for other recipes and promptly made the Nutella dip. Looking forward to more great recipes from you.
I’m so happy to hear this recipe was a hit! Thanks for stopping by to let me know.
I made this for my family and they loved it! The meat had so much flavor that we didn’t even use sauce. Thank you, thank you!
Awesome! So happy to hear that you loved it 😀
Any suggestions for substituting the ketchup (I have a tomato allergy)
You can always try omitting the ketchup, the sauce will not be as thick though. Or, here is a link to How To Make Tomato Free Ketchup >> http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Tomato-Free-Ketchup I’ve never tried this personally but it’s worth a shot 🙂
It looks like the instructions to this recipe are now missing. Could you re-add? This is one of my favorite recipes and I neglected to save it!
Oh no! I had an issue with my recipes a while back and thought they had all been fixed. I’ll have to figure out a way to access the old directs and I will try to fix this recipe asap. Thanks for letting me know 🙂
Yay! I was able to track down the recipe on the internet archives. It is there now 🙂
Hello, I am unable to find the actual method for this recipe? Has it been removed as I have made it many times but it seems to have disappeared?
Yes, apologies. The recipe was erased when transferring my site info over to a new program. I’ve been trying to tack down the recipe, as they say anything posted on the internet is there forever…hopefully 🙂
