This was today's dinner...and boy was it yummy!! I was surprised at how good it turned out. And it was relatively easy. Success Rate: Kenny and Rachel LOVED it. Zachary thought the meat was super good, and he even poured on some honey. Tyler didn't care for it much, he picked at it a little, but that was about it. The flavor is sweet, so we had a hard time knowing what to serve with it, so we ended up making some corn bread and that seemed to be a perfect combination. We will for sure be making this again.
1 cup cider or apple juice
1 1/2 - 2 lb. pork loin
salt
pepper
2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
1 1/2 whole butternut squashes, peeled and cubed *
1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. dried thyme
1/4 tsp. dried sage
1. Heat cider in hot skillet. Sear pork loin on all sides in cider.
2. Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper on all sides. Place in slow cooker, along with juices.
3. Combine apples and squash. Sprinkle with sugar and herbs. Stir. Place around pork loin.
4. Cover. Cook on Low 5-6 hours.
5. Remove pork from cooker. Let stand 10-15 minutes. Slice into 1/2 inch thick slices.
6. Serve topped with apples and squash.
*I don't know what butternut squash is, so just bought regular yellow squash, you know the kind that looks like cucumbers only bright yellow. It worked out great and yummy.
