    Crockpot Honey Pork and Apples is a great paleo, clean eating and gluten free recipe!

    Crockpot Honey Pork and Apples is a fabulous recipe that is Paleo, Clean Eating and Gluten Free! Most of all is great because it's a slow cooker recipe. By now most of you know that I love using my crockpots to help me save time in the kitchen. This recipe was so easy to prepare, it took me less than 10 minutes to assemble it and place in the slow cooker.

     

    Simply slice slits in the pork loin and place 1-2 apple slices per slit.  Once you have done that place ¾ of remaining apple slices in bottom of crockpot.  Drizzle ½ of the honey over apple slices. Then place pork loin on top of apple slices.  Sprinkle cinnamon over everything in the slow cooker.  Add your remaining apple slices on top and drizzle the remaining honey over everything.

    Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 -8 hours. Remove from the slow cooker, slice and serve with apples on top.  If you like picking apples in the fall this is the perfect recipe for you!

    Crockpot Honey Pork and Apples is a great paleo, clean eating and gluten free recipe!

    I am sure many of you are thinking that this needs liquid but it doesn't.  If you want to add ½ cup you are welcome to use water or chicken broth.  This pork tenderloin slowly cooked all day and the house smelled amazing with the cinnamon and honey. The pork was so tender and full of flavor! My family loved it and can't wait for me to make it again! This delicious Crockpot Honey Pork and Apples goes well with Cauliflower Rice and Roasted Asparagus.

    I hope your family enjoys this delicious recipe as much as mine did! Crockpot Honey Pork and Apples is a great paleo, clean eating and gluten free recipe!

          I did two 1-1/4 pound loins and it was dry and overlooked after 8 hours. I'm guessing bc they were smaller and cooked faster? Next time I'll try for 6 hours and see how that goes. Flavor was great!

      I tried this recipe today. I put 2x 1.5lb tenderloins in the pot with 2x tbsp of cinnamon, 2 large Granny Smiths, and 1/2 cup of honey. It cooked overnight on low for 8hr. Mine did not turn out as good as everyone else's sounded. Meat was dry, cinnamon was caked on the meat and gritty on the apples. The flavor was ok but definitely strong on cinnamon. The whole dish was a dark brown mush, almost like it wanted to be burnt. Am I doing something wrong?

      I have two pork tenderloins totalling 4.15 Pds. Do I need to increase any of the ingredients? Do I need to increase the cooking time? I'm making this tomorrow.

      This is fabulous! Just got in from work, and the house smells like heaven. 😀 I shredded the pork with two forks, and my son and I couldn't resist a sample before everyone else gets home. Holy moly!!!! Followed recipe exactly except for the fact that I used 3 Granny Smiths instead of two because my apples were rather small. This will become a go to recipe in our house. So easy, and so flavorful.

      I was lazy and just "assumed" eight hours and didn't check it at all. That was way too long and I ended up with a nearly inedible piece of overcooked pork. If you aren't using a giant tenderloin start checking this for proper temp at maybe 5 1/2 hours. It seems like the flavor would have been great but it was just way too long for my crock pot on this first attempt.
