You’ll need:

• 2 to 3 Granny Smith apples (about 2 cups)
• 1 medium onion, sliced (about 1 cup)
• 1 pork tenderloin
• 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon of garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon of ground mustard
• ¼ cup of honey

Substitutions And Additions

PORK: This crockpot apple pork loin recipe could be modified for other cuts of pork if you’d like.

A pork loin roast or fried pork chops would both be delicious smothered in apples and spices too!

Just note you’d have to modify the cooking time depending on the cut of meat you use.

APPLES: You can use whichever type of apple you would like.

We like Granny Smith for the tart flavor, but Fuji, Pink Lady, or Honeycrisp are all great choices for the variety of apples you pick.

SPICES: You can vary the spices and seasonings to your preference. The sweet and savory flavors of the ones in the recipe give the pork a great flavor, but you can modify it if you’d like.

SAUCE: You could add or omit ingredients from the sauce. Substituting ground mustard for a bit of Dijon mustard would add a little extra bit of tanginess.

ONIONS: We like white onions in this crockpot honey pork recipe, but you could substitute them for sweet onions or yellow onions instead.

POTATOES: Add in washed, diced potatoes to the dish for a full meal. Any potato will work here, even sweet potatoes.

How To Make This Crockpot Apple Pork Tenderloin Recipe

STEP ONE: 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.

STEP TWO: Use a sharp knife to make deep slits across the top of the pork loin about ¾-inches apart.

STEP THREE: Settle the tenderloin into the bed of apples and onions. Place a piece of apple into each slice in the tenderloin.

STEP FOUR: In a small bowl, stir together the cumin, cinnamon, garlic powder, ground mustard, and honey to make a paste.

STEP FIVE: Spread the paste over the top of the tenderloin.

STEP SIX: Cover and cook for 3 to 4 hours on high or 7 to 8 hours on low. 

How To Serve

Add green beans and rice or dinner rolls to this crock pot pork tenderloin with apples and onions for a delicious meal.

This pork tenderloin would be lovely to serve for company but easy enough to throw together for a weeknight meal. It’s always lovely to come home to the aromas of a slow cooker simmering away.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 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.
