Slow Cooker Apple Barbeque Pulled Pork
This Slow Cooker Apple Barbeque Pulled Pork is a uniquely flavored pulled pork recipe. The sweet complex homemade barbecue sauce with the rich fatty pork makes this dinner amazing!
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.
