Apple sauce in crock pot

Crock Pot Pork Loin with Vegetables: An easy slow cooker pork loin recipe with potatoes, carrots, and onions in apple sauce in crock pot rich tangy gravy. We eat a lot of chicken and fish in our house, with the occasional grilled steak on the weekend. Yet one protein I feel often gets sadly overlooked is good ol’ pork.

In the summer I tend to grill whole pork tenderloin and serve it with salad. However, the rest of the year I almost forget it exists. I’m trying to remedy the pork-less rut this spring, by cooking some of my favorite pork laden comfort foods. Crock Pot Pork Tenderloin with Vegetables is an old classic I’ve made for years, just not as often as I would like. It’s extremely simple to make, with just one whole pork tenderloin, a few veggies, and a simple pour-over sauce that turns into a rich savory-sweet gravy while cooking.
