Recipe Tips

• Can I use different apples? Yes, sweeter apples like Fuji or Gala work well, or go tart with Granny Smith for contrast.
• How to make a pork gravy: Use the juices from the slow cooker and reduce in a saucepan for a rich, savory sauce.
• Do I need to sear the pork first? Searing adds great flavor and color, but you can skip it if you’re short on time.
