Hello and happy Monday! It’s time for Main Dish Monday again! And today I’m talking about pork, crock-pot pork roast with applesauce to be exact! This is a great recipe to ‘piggy back’ on my applesauce recipe too (did you catch that, pork and piggyback?! Haha, so funny!).

Here’s What You’ll Need to Make This Recipe

• 1 pork sirloin tip roast
• 1 onion
• 1 cup applesauce
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 TBS balsamic vinegar

How to Make This Roast

Like most crockpot recipes, this is super simple to prepare. You place the roast on top of a chopped onion in the crockpot, cover with the rub, add the chicken stock and balsamic vinegar, cover with applesauce and let it do its thing!

1. In a small bowl, mix spices for the rub.
2. Chop onion and place in the bottom of the crockpot.
3. Place the roast on top of the onion and cover with rub.
4. Mix chicken broth and balsamic vinegar and pour in the bottom of the crockpot.
5. Cover roast and rub with applesauce.
6. Cook on low for 6 hours.

And, after about 6 hours, you end up with an incredibly moist and tender pork roast (or tenderloin) that’s perfectly complimented by the sweet, slightly tangy applesauce. I usually serve this with roasted red potatoes and a vegetable of choice, but it’s very versatile! It’s a family friendly, very hearty meal.
