Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

It doesn’t get much simpler than this 4-ingredient Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

Ingredients :
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 pounds pork shoulder roast or pork butt roast
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 2 cups barbecue sauce optional
  • Buns for serving, optional
Directions :
  1. In a Dutch oven or large stock pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sprinkle pork generously with salt on all sides. Add to pot and sear without moving until a dark brown crust forms on one side, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  2. Flip pork over and continue browning on the second side until a dark crust forms, about 4 to 5 minutes longer. Remove from pot and transfer to slow cooker. Pour applesauce over the top.
  3. Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 to 6 hours or LOW 8 to 10 hours. Using two forks, shred the pork. Pour barbecue sauce on top if using and serve in buns if desired.
