Slow Cooker Brown Sugar Balsamic Glazed Pork

This slow cooker brown sugar balsamic glazed pork is served with a simple mix of roasted potatoes, apples and sweet potatoes. It’s one the most visited recipes on my blog!

I really know it’s fall once I’ve pulled out the slow cooker and made a roast. I have a feeling my slow cooker and I are going to be best friends now that my son has started swim team. He has practice every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 4:30 – 5:45, which is great because it also forces me to the Y for a workout of my own. But also we’ve been arriving back home after 6:00 and starving, meaning a dinner hot out of the slow will be a warm welcome home. 

This luscious pile of pork with roasted potatoes and apples is what we had Wednesday night for dinner, along with some Pumpkin Pie Bars I made earlier in the day. The pork was so full of flavor and simple to assemble. Fix it and forget it, that’s what I love about the slow cooker!

This potato mix with apples was inspired by a cooking demonstration I attended recently thanks to The Kitchen’s Bounty at Jungle Jim’s.  I hadn’t ever thought to combine both russet and sweet potatoes AND add apples but they work so well together.  Combined with the tender, sweet and slightly tangy pork – this is fall cooking at its best!
