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
- Trim pork tenderloin of silverskin and excess fat; pat dry. Season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- 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.
- In a bowl, whisk together the apple butter, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.
- Place the seared pork tenderloin into the slow cooker. Pour the prepared apple butter glaze evenly over the pork.
- 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).
- 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.
