Apple Cinnamon Pork Roast

Tonight's dinner was a success for the most part. I thought the entire dinner was delicious; however the kids didn't like the slaw or cooked apples but loved the pork! Backing up with another veggie insured a complete dinner!

Ingredients:
1 lb pork tenderlion roast
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 TBS canola oil
1 medium onion sliced
1/2 cup apple cider
1 Fuji apple cored and sliced thin
1 TBS fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
6 oz of broccoli slaw mix (bagged)

Directions:
1. Sprinkle the roast with salt, pepper and thyme. Heat oil in large skillet and brown roast on all sides.

2. Layer onions on the bottom of your slow cooker. Place the roast on top and then pour the cider over the top. Cover and cook for 2 hours on high.

3. Toss the apples with lemon juice and cinnamon. Add them and the slaw to the slow cooker. Cover and heat for 30 more minutes.

4. Remove roast and let rest on platter for 10 minutes. Use slotted spoon to remove veggies and drizzle sauce over top.

We served this with sweet potato fries and butternut squash.
