When the pork is finished cooking it will be fall apart tender. Then we’ll take the juices and make a delectable apple cider gravy to pour over the pork. I love serving crock pot apple cider pork tenderloin with The Best Mashed Potatoes. It just seems right.

Try Crock Pot BBQ Shredded Pork. Delicious! And it makes leftovers.

What you’ll need

7 quart crock pot
Pork tenderloin– for our family of 5 I like to use 3-4 pounds. If you have a smaller bunch to feed, 2 pounds might be perfect.
Butter
Onion– yellow or white
Apple cider- easily make your own in the crock pot or buy it in the store. Apple cider is seasonal so if you can’t find it use unfiltered apple juice instead. You want the dark murky looking stuff.
Apple cider vinegar – don’t use white vinegar, it won’t be the same
Chicken bullion
Grainy mustard– for a pop of flavor
Seasonings– salt, pepper, garlic
Cold water and cornstarch– to thicken the gravy

How to make Crock Pot Apple Cider Pork Loin

Slice the onion and brown in a skillet with butter over medium high heat. Then add the onions to the crock pot. They don’t need to be fully cooked, just looking for some color.

2. Season all sides of the pork loin with salt and pepper and sear in the same pan. Place in the crock pot.

3. In a bowl whisk together the liquids: apple cider, apple cider vinegar, garlic, and chicken bullion. Pour the mixture over the pork in the crock pot. Cook on low for 6 hours.

4. Shred the pork and remove to a platter. Strain the juices into a pot. In a small bowl whisk together the cold water and cornstarch. Add the cornstarch mixture to the juices and heat over medium high heat. Continue whisking the juices until it thickens, about 5 minutes. Serve gravy on the side or pour over the pork.

I love serving the shredded pork loin over creamy mashed potatoes. So delicious and such a comfort meal.
