Slow Cooker Honey Apple Pork Roast is a crock pot recipe that has amazing flavour and is paleo. Made with ginger, cinnamon, apples and honey – it’s simply delicious!

  • Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup

You know those recipes that sound so different that they are never tried? File this one under that heading, but tag it TRY, because it’s amazing!

The story behind this recipe stems from casual conversation with a friend. Her and I regularly talk food, recipes and the ultimate question, “what do I make for dinner?”.

I had taken a pork roast out for dinner and stated that I was making it the same way I always do – with some spices or a rub. Good, but so boring after years.

She suggested I try Slow Cooker Honey Apple Pork Roast, so of course I had to get more information on the recipe.

She started listing ingredients and of course that sour look spread across my face. Pork, honey, ginger, cinnamon … huh?

She assured me it was the best pork roast ever, and since I’ve gotten real winners from her before – I gave it a try. Yet, I did alter the recipe somewhat in amounts of spices and juice.

Verdict: I shouldn’t be so quick to stick on that critical face Slow Cooker Honey Apple Pork Roast is very simple to make. Plus I actually had all the ingredients on hand, which is another bonus when it comes to new recipes.

During the slow cooking, the scents that I would catch as I walked into the kitchen were irresistible.

It is the combination of the honey, ginger, apple & cinnamon that hits your nose in a distinct way – yet feels so warm comforting.

Slow Cooker Honey Apple Pork Roast is now on my regular rotation when cooking pork roast, and if it counts in your favour – it’s also a Paleo recipe. So for those that are choosing these types of recipes, this one is for you!

If you want to make this a shredded pork, simply cut and mix it with a fork when almost done and let the juices seep in. I kept it whole this time and spooned the sauce/apple/onion mixture on top of pork slices.

Who knew that this questionable combination of ingredients could be so darned good? One bite of a forkful of pork, apple and onion – and you’ll be convinced too. This one deserves, no, screams to be tried.

    Pork is my favorite meat for slow cookers. It takes up flavors so well, and it’s so tender out of a slow cooker.

    I’m going to try this recipe for Sunday night dinner this week. Hubby always wants apple sauce with his pork, may as well just throw the apples in to begin with!

    I will give this one a try! We have pork roast and pork tenderloin often but last time I made it in the slow cooker it was dry and really disappointing. This sounds like a moist and flavourful dish!
