Slow Cooker Apple Barbecue Pork Loin is a great way to have your barbecue without having to grill!

It’s the hottest month of the year here in Oregon. We do not have AC in most of our house, the kitchen gets 90+ degrees some days if I even turn on the dishwasher. I don’t feel like even stepping outside to start the barbecue. This recipe I wasn’t sure if it was going to turn out and I was even more worried if it would photograph well.

I’m glad I went through testing this recipe out, it’s a winner! The apples along with the barbecue sauce and vinegar make the best sauce ever! For the sides with this pork, I did corn on the cob and watermelon.

How to make Slow Cooker Apple Barbecue Pork Loin:

You will need these ingredients:

  • Pork Loin
  • Cooking oil

  • Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 7 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
  • Serve and enjoy!

I cook the pork loin for 7 hours, which is just enough time to make the pork tender enough to slice. I serve the apples and barbecue sauce over the pork slices.

        I used BBQ Pete’s Puyallup Fair Sauce, it comes in a jar instead of a bottle.

      Hi Sarah,

      I have a 2 1/2 lb pork loin being cooked in a 4 qt crock pot for this recipe.

      How long should I cook it for?

      Is there any way possible to use sliced apples instead of canned apples to make this recipe?

        I don’t see why not, you may want to add a little more barbecue sauce.

          What about adding a little unsweetened apple sauce in with the BBQ sauce for moisture and then add the sliced apples? Is that ok?
