Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin with Apples is an Easy and Delicious Meal. The Sweet and Savory Flavors Are Sure to Please Your Whole Family!

We love Slow Cooker Pork recipes! Some of our favorites include Crockpot Chalupas and Crock Pot Sausage and Peppers (on a bun).

SLOW COOKER PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLES

Pork Tenderloin is such a wonderful match for tender, juicy apples. The sweet and savory flavors just go so well together!

However, pork tenderloin can dry out in the oven if you don’t babysit it. That’s why I love cooking it in the slow cooker – it always comes out perfectly!

WHAT KIND OF APPLES SHOULD I USE?

I have my favorites, but you can use a variety of apples. I would recommend using apples that are fairly crunchy, rather than the baking varieties. Otherwise, you’ll end up with applesauce rather than tender-crisp apple slices!

Past that, it really depends on whether your family likes something a bit sweeter or a bit more tart. Red Delicious, Honeycrisp, and Granny Smith are all good choices.

WHAT SHOULD I SERVE WITH SLOW COOKER PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLES?

This dish is so delicious that you really don’t need to dress it up with much! Just whip up a quick salad and some Instant Pot Scalloped Potatoes, and you’re good to go!

WILL SLOW COOKER PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLES FREEZE WELL?

The pork tenderloin will freeze well, and there are so many delicious ways to use it. You can freeze the apples, but they may get a bit softer with freezing, thawing and reheating.

This meal is a favorite of ours, and I know your family will love it as well!

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
