Who doesn't love the flavors of fall? I for one can't wait for fresh cranberries to show up in the grocery stores. I love cooking with cranberries so much that I pack the freezer with a couple of extra pounds of them so I have them on hand for cooking long after fresh cranberry season is over.
Even though we eat pork loin all year long there is something about mixing the flavors of fall like crisp sweet apples, tart cranberries, and butternut squash with a tender pork loin that screams fall to me.
This Crock Pot® slow cooker recipe reminds me of Sunday dinners with my grand parents. My grandmother would always serve apple sauce when she made a pork roast and she would make homemade bread stuffing. Then there was always a bright slice of jellied cranberry sauce.
This Crock Pot® Slow Cooker Apple Cranberry Stuffed Pork Loin recipe is my Crock Pot® slow cooker version of Sunday dinners at my grandparents house.
My Crock Pot® Slow Cooker recipe was made in the new Crock Pot® 5 in 1 Multi-cooker. I love it. Check out the video below so you can see it in action. I browned the pork loin in the multi cooker then switched it to the slow cooker setting to slow cook.
I love that I can now brown meats and then slow cook them all in one appliance.
