Apple Cider Pulled Pork Recipe with Caramelized Onions & Apples

Ingredients

• 3 (12 fluid ounce) bottles hard apple cider
• 0.75 cup brown sugar, divided
• 1 (2 pound) pork tenderloin
• 0.5 cup butter
• 1 large onion, cut into strips
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 large Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, and sliced
• 6 hard rolls, split

Instructions

1. In a slow cooker, combine hard apple cider and 1/4 cup of brown sugar, stirring until dissolved. Then, add the pork tenderloin.
2. Cook on Low heat for 6 hours, or until the pork is very tender. Use a fork to shred the pork.
3. Approximately 20 minutes before the pork is done, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Sauté the onion in butter until it's well browned, about 10 minutes.
4. In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of brown sugar, cinnamon, and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper. Add the apples and brown sugar mixture to the onion in the skillet. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the sauce has thickened.
5. Serve the shredded pork and apple-onion sauce over your favorite rolls.
