A cozy fall crockpot recipe featuring tender pulled pork with the sweet and savory flavors of apple cider and maple syrup. Perfect for family gatherings or chilly autumn evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large apples, peeled and sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3–4 lb pork shoulder
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Smoked paprika
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice two large apples. Mince two cloves of garlic. Season a 3-4 lb pork shoulder with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  2. Place the apple slices at the bottom of the crockpot. Add the minced garlic and a sprig of fresh rosemary.
  3. Place the seasoned pork shoulder on top of the apples.
  4. In a bowl, mix 1 cup of apple cider, 2 tbsp of maple syrup, and 1 tbsp of Dijon mustard. Pour this mixture over the pork.
  5. Set the crockpot to low and cook for 8 hours, or high for 4-5 hours.
  6. Once cooked, use two forks to shred the pork directly in the crockpot. Stir it into the juices and let it sit for 10 minutes.
  7. Serve over toasted buns, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.

Notes

For best results, sear the pork shoulder in a skillet before adding to the crockpot to enhance flavor. Adjust seasoning halfway through cooking if needed.
