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 and pepper to taste
Optional: Fresh sage or thyme for garnish
Instructions
Prepare the Pork: Start by seasoning the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper. This basic step is crucial as it enhances the meat’s flavor right from the beginning.
Make the Glaze: In a bowl, combine the apple butter, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until smooth.
Slow Cook: Place the seasoned pork tenderloin into your slow cooker. Pour the apple butter glaze over the top, ensuring the meat is fully coated. Cover and set your slow cooker to low heat.
Monitor and Finish: Allow the pork to cook for 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high, until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
Serve: Once cooked, transfer the tenderloin to a cutting board. Let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing to retain the juices.
