    Crockpot Pear, Apple and Pork Dinner is a great healthy dinner! It is also an easy freezer meal too!

    Crockpot Pear Apple and Pork Dinner is a great clean-eating dinner. This recipe is simple and easy and can also be made for a freezer meal. On the day that you want to enjoy it, all you have to do is put it in the slow cooker and let it do it's thing.  You can substitute the brown sugar for honey to make this a Paleo Recipe.  I also like to substitute with agave or maple syrup.

    I was very shocked when my boys even loved this meal! However, they did push the onions to the side but they ate up the pork, apples and pears which pleased this momma! I served this great tasting crockpot pork meal with baked potatoes but I think it would be delicious with rice too.

    Be sure that you invest in a good quality slow cooker.  Our favorite is this programmable cook and carry 6qt oval slow cooker.

    If preparing as Freezer Meal write the following instructions on the bag: Add 2 ½ c. water, Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.  Cut up meat, fruit and onions, place in freezer gallon size bag. Mix brown sugar, apple juice, vinegar and mustard together then pour into bag. Lay flat in freezer. When ready to prepare, thaw overnight in the fridge. Pour contents into crockpot and add 2 ½ c. water. Stir mixture thoroughly. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.

      All the crockpot freezer meals are great, thanks! I prepared this one and stuck it in the freezer and plan to put it in the crockpot to eat for the first time tomorrow. I'm wondering about the 2 1/2 cups of water that I'm supposed to add. That seems like it will make it really watery. Does it thicken up as it cooks?

      Would the meal turn out ok if I put it in the crock pot half frozen on low for extra time? Would you even suggest this?

          Is the 1/2 cup of vinegar correct? We used 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar and the house smelt like a brewery. lol

      Prepped and froze this along with some other meals before our baby was born so we'd have some dinner options when we were too overwhelmed to plan dinner. We had it tonight- I think I cooked it a little long because my apples dissolved into the sauce, but I served it with risotto, and both of us really liked it. (My husband loved the sauce!)
      This is a great easy, healthy dinner and is definitely going into regular rotation! Thanks!

            Made this tonight with chicken instead of pork (also substituted chicken broth for the apple juice) and it turned out great. One more question though... When you save the leftovers, do you save it in the juice?

      This might be silly, but do the apples and pears turn brown after being in the freezer?

        Yes but they will also turn brown when you cook them so the same result. Not silly 🙂

      The recipe calls for 2 pears but the shopping list for 8 freezer meals calls for 3 pears and this is the only meal that uses the pears- so should I use 2 or 3 pears?

        Use 2-3 depending on the size.
