Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless pork loin
- 3 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Set aside.
Season the pork loin on all sides with salt and ground black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, chicken broth, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and ground cinnamon.
Place half of the sliced apples in the bottom of the crockpot. Lay the seasoned pork loin on top of the apples.
Pour the honey mixture evenly over the pork loin, ensuring it is well coated.
Place the remaining apple slices around and on top of the pork loin.
Cover the crockpot with a lid and set it to cook on low for 5 hours, or until the pork loin reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Once cooked, carefully remove the pork loin from the crockpot and let it rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
To make a gravy, strain the cooking liquid from the crockpot and pour it into a small saucepan over medium heat.
Mix the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl to create a slurry, then slowly whisk it into the saucepan.
Simmer the mixture for 3-5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Slice the rested pork loin and serve it with the cooked apples and drizzled gravy.
