Ingredients

• 3 lb, trimmed of excess fat pork shoulder
• 1/4 cup honey

• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1, finely chopped yellow onion
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 2 cups diced apples

Instructions

1. Step 1: Place 3 lb trimmed pork shoulder in the slow cooker. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried thyme, and 1/2 cup chicken broth until smooth.
2. Step 2: Pour the honey-mustard mixture over the pork shoulder, then top with 1 finely chopped yellow onion and 2 cups diced apples.
