Apple Pork Roast

This one we have now done twice and it has become our family's favorite experiment so far. This is one you will definitely want to try with your own family. If you like apple pie, you will love putting the flavor of apple pie over a pork roast and mashed potatoes.

Getting everything ready - all but the 2nd roast and the rest of the topping.

Ready to go!
INGREDIENTS:
1 pork roast (2-3 lbs)
3 apples
3/4 cup sugar
2 Tbsp flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon

RECIPE:
Cut apples into pieces and place in slow cooker. Mix sugar, flour and cinnamon and cover pork with mixture. Place in slow cooker and sprinkle rest of mixture on top. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.

MY VERSION:
Couldn't find one single pork roast for that weight, but I did find two small ones. So, I ended up cooking it just for the 6 hours to make sure they weren't over cooked. Then we used the apples and sauce over mashed potatoes. You will definitely want a bite that consists of all three things: pork, apples and mashed potatoes. SO GOOD!!!

Looks kind of gross, but that's the sugar coating that turned a funny color.

Doesn't that pork look delicious?

My husband has claimed that it is his favorite experiment so far. ALL of my kids ate it up. And, I'm definitely going to be using this recipe over and over again.
