Fresh apple juice maintains the flavor with less acidity.

Salt the pork and leave it on the counter for about 30 minutes.

Dust an apple with ground cinnamon.

Cut up another apple and put cinnamon on it.

Start the pork fat side down in a pan and bring the pan up to heat to render out some of the fat.

Flip the pork every 45 seconds to develop a nice golden crust.

Deglaze the pan with apple cider vinegar.

Add brown sugar, butter, and vanilla extract to the pan.

When the butter is halfway melted, add the apples and a little raw honey.

Let the mixture simmer for about 10-12 minutes until it reaches a nice consistency.
