    2 small apples cored and chopped, ½ large sweet onion cut into rings, 1 12 oz can light beer, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce, 2 tablespoon whole wheat flour, ¾ teaspoon Chinese 5 Spice
  • Heat a skillet over high. Salt the pork loin and brown it on both sides by cooking in the skillet until a crust forms.

  • Place the browned pork loin into the crockpot.
  • I cooked on low for 7 hours, about 4 on high would probably do the trick as well.
  • Remove the pork and puree the rest of the ingredients in the crockpot for a nice gravy. We used it on the pork and some mashed potatoes.
  • Slice up the pork.
  • Serve with drizzle of the gravy and your favorite sides. We went with mashed tators and peas. 🙂
