We did it again...😆 Slow Cooker Apple Cider Pulled Pork and the Pumpkin Patch

apple cider

🥗Healthier: unsweetened apple juice

💰Cheaper: water + apple extract

Unsweetened apple juice provides a similar flavor with less sugar.

pork shoulder

🥗Healthier: pork loin

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Pork loin is leaner, while chicken thighs offer a more affordable protein option.

brown sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

💰Cheaper: white sugar

Coconut sugar is less processed, while white sugar is more economical.

buns

🥗Healthier: whole grain buns

💰Cheaper: white bread

Whole grain buns provide more fiber, while white bread is often cheaper.

Spray the slow cooker with cooking spray.

Place the bone-in pork roast into the slow cooker.

Generously season the pork roast with Famous Dave's rib rub.

Pour Nature's nectar 100% apple cider around the sides of the pork roast until it reaches the top of the meat, avoiding washing off the rib rub.

Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 8 hours.

After 8 hours, check the pork roast for tenderness and pull apart with forks if desired.

Serve with Kinder honey hot barbecue sauce.
