Ingredients
- 2 to 3 Granny Smith apples about 2 cups
- 1 medium onion sliced about 1 cup
- 1 pork tenderloin
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon ground mustard
- ¼ cup honey
Instructions
- Slice apples and onions into ½-inch slices. Sprinkle the apples and onions along the bottom of a crockpot, reserving some of the apple slices.
- Use a sharp knife to make slices across the top of the pork tenderloin about ¾-inches apart.
- Settle the tenderloin into the bed of apples and onions. Place a piece of apple into each slice in the tenderloin.
- Stir together the cumin, cinnamon, garlic powder, ground mustard, and honey to make a paste.
- Spread the paste over the top of the tenderloin.
- Cover and cook for 3 to 4 hours on high, or 7 to 8 hours on low.
Notes
- If your apples have tough skins, consider peeling them before slicing them. The apples are going to break down almost to applesauce consistency during cooking.
- Use an instant-read meat thermometer to check for doneness. Pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Serve your slow cooker honey apple pork tenderloin with an extra drizzle of honey.
