Prepare the pork shoulder by trimming excess fat.

Mix apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, mustard, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper in a bowl to create a marinade.

Rub the marinade thoroughly over the pork shoulder, ensuring even coverage.

Place the marinated pork in a slow cooker and add water to cover the bottom.

Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours until the pork is tender and easily pulled apart.

Remove the pork from the slow cooker and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Shred the pork using two forks, discarding any large pieces of fat.

Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker to absorb more juices, mixing well.

Prepare coleslaw by mixing shredded cabbage, carrots, and dressing of choice in a bowl.

Toast the buns lightly if desired, then layer with pulled pork, coleslaw, and pickles.

Serve immediately and enjoy your Carolinas-style pulled pork sandwiches.
