"Everyone knows that pork and applesauce go together. I threw this one into the slow cooker for hubby and the kids one day when I was running late for work and I had fresh apples. It makes it's own apple sauce in the slow cooker."

4 apples, sliced I used gala
1 onion, sliced
2 lbs boneless pork roast or 2 lbs boneless pork chops
italiano seasoning, to taste
garlic powder, to taste
onion powder, to taste
¹⁄₄ cup apple juice
6 ounces chicken-flavored ramen noodles, cooked, drained and mixed with seasoning packets (2 packs)

directions

Slice apples and lay them on the bottom of the slow cooker, slice onion and lay half of them on top of the apples.
Season roast with Italiano Seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder, and it you want to add salt and pepper. Lay on top of the apples, and top with the remaining onions.
Pour apple juice down the side of the slow cooker so you don't rinse off all the seasoning.
Cook on High for 4 hours.
When ready to serve, boil or ramen noodles in just water, drain, and toss with some butter and the seasoning packets.
Serve pork with the apples and noodles.
This is a basic last minute chuck into the slow cooker and run because your late recipe. If you want to add different seasonings then experiment. I really didn't know how it would taste until I got home 9 hours later. Hubby told me I have to make it more often.

I used a bone in roast as that is what i had. DH and boys liked this, I myself did not care for it. The apples just kinda mushed and I didn't like the flavor with the onions in it. It was easy to prepare. I may try it again and change some of the spices. Thanks for sharing.

My passion is cooking, I have been baking and cooking since I was young. With 2 working parents it was essential. I am trained as a Professional Cook, even have a cooking certificate, lol. The best education I ever got was going to cooking school. I spent 3 years cooking in a gas station restaurant and all was well working there, but my heart still wanted to cook for kids. October 2008 I finally got the job I wanted. I been cooking for the kids for just over a year now and I love every day of it. The kids are great, some frustration, but it is all good, they are so smiley everyday, how could you not like work when you have a bunch of smiling faces looking at you. Another good thing about my job is I get the summers off. I had a pretty good summer, I got to tend to my garden and get a bunch of stuff into the freezers, I was given a second freezer this summer. I have been planning on eating mainly out of the freezers so we can save some extra cash for Christmas. I have plans on finding some nutrition courses that I can do online, just for dabbling in, it would sure help with cooking for the kids. I live with my hubby and 3 kids (11,6,5), and one cat, who is part in-door, out-door. I really want to get back into losing weight this school year, it has been 1 1/2 years since I lost about 15 pounds, I have maintained that loss though. I would still like to lose another 10 pounds.
