Crock Pot Pork Tenderloin With Apples And Sweet Potatoes

• 2 -3 lbs pork loin
• 3 granny smith apples, thick sliced skin on
• 1 bosc pear, thick sliced skin on (anjou to me is too soft)
• 3/4 cup white wine
• 1 cup apple cider (not apple juice)
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 2 large onions, rough chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, minced
• 2 bay leaves
• 4 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in quarters do not chop fine
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 tablespoons butter (1 to saute, 2 for the crock pot)
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

1. Pork -- In a large saute pan add 1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon olive oil and heat to medium. Season the pork loin well with salt and pepper and sear on medium heat until golden brown on all sides. Just a minute or less per side.
2. Crock pot -- Add the pork to the crock pot. To the pan with pork drippings add the apple cider and just deglaze the pan and stir/scrape up all the drippings with a spatula. Add immediately to the crock pot.
3. Add everything else to the crock pot, vegetables, seasoning, butter, apples, pears, wine, onions, sweet potatoes, etc and just cook.
4. Cook -- 8-10 hours on low or 6-8 hours on high.
5. Enjoy -- Slice thin and serve. You can thicken the sauce if you want with a little slurry of corn starch and water but I find that the potatoes and pork soak up most of the juices. The onion and apples are sweet and everything is just perfect. Just a small salad.
