Description

Tender Slow Cooker Apple Butter Glazed Pork Tenderloin is a flavorful dish that combines pork with apple butter for a gourmet experience.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds pork tenderloin
  • 1 cup apple butter (homemade or store-bought)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Fresh sage or thyme, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Trim pork tenderloin of silverskin and excess fat; pat dry. Season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. Heat a skillet with a touch of oil over medium-high heat. Sear seasoned pork tenderloin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from skillet.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the apple butter, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.
  4. Place the seared pork tenderloin into the slow cooker. Pour the prepared apple butter glaze evenly over the pork.
  5. Cover the slow cooker with its lid. Cook on the LOW setting for 3 to 4 hours, or on the HIGH setting for 2 to 3 hours, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  6. Carefully remove pork from the slow cooker, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 10-15 minutes. Slice against the grain into medallions. Drizzle with any remaining glaze from the slow cooker. Garnish with fresh sage or thyme, if desired, and serve immediately.
