Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    1/2 medium head of cabbage, cored and chopped
    3 apples, cored and diced (leave skin on)
    1/2 small onion, chopped
    2 tbsp cider vinegar
    1/4 cup sugar
    1/2 tsp salt
    dash nutmeg
    bay leaf
    1 1/2 lb boneless pork roast, trimmed of visible fat

Directions

In a 4.5-qt slow cooker, combine all ingredients except pork roast and stir. Mash down a bit if you feel like you don't have room for your roast (it will seem very full at first but the cabbage will cook down quite a bit). Place unseasoned roast on top. Cook on low for about 8 hours or until roast is at least 160 degrees in the center.

    I do this without sugar.
    Cabbage apples and onions are sweet, we find the addition of the sugar spoils it. I like to add some dark green too, it enhances the color and nutrition I always use a tenderloin for this, just my modifications. I am diabetic and rarely use any sugar. Thanks for the recipe.

    Made the recipe exactly as written. Was very quick, easy and delicious. I feel that it actually makes more than four servings if you eat a moderate sized portion and serve with a side. Served with naan bread at one meal and with brown rice at another meal. Definitely adding to my go-to recipes list. - 7/14/15

    This was easy and delicious! Even my very picky son enjoyed the flavor of the meat (as long as the cabbage and apples were not on his plate!!) - 1/30/12

    Very easy, and tasty. I did replace the sugar with Splenda Granulated, (Diabetic house hold), so I'm not sure if it was a little sweet because of the substitution, or if this is just a sweet recipe. I will definitely make this again. - 7/29/11

    This recipe makes 4 servings, so just take your yield when it's done cooking and divide it into 4 equal servings. :) Actual serving size can vary slightly so I find this is the best way for me.

    Excellent slow cooker meal! I used a whole head of cabbage, and doubled the apple cider, spice, used 1/4 c. sugar and about 1/8 c. splenda. Thanks for the recipe! - 3/7/10

    I probably did something wrong. I used apple cider viegar and it totally overpowered the cabbage. I tried to doctor it up but couldn't save it. I don't think I'll be trying this recipe again. Gave it a 3 star because I didn't make it right lol - 8/1/18

    This was so simple and delicious. I also skipped the sugar and used tenderloin. I did have to add a little water because even on low my crock-pot almost burned the cabbage. It was so good I almost couldn't stop eating it. :) - 1/28/18

    No stars! Ew! I have learned my lesson-don't do pork in the crock pot! This was a disgusting mush! I wish I knew what I do wrong to pork-second pork crock pot recipe that was horrible... - 8/24/15

    We really enjoyed this...I used lean pork loin, substituted an orange for one of the apples and left out the sugar completely. Next time, I may add some carrots. The fruit and cabbage release plenty of liquid. This is a keeper! - 4/15/15

    This tasted pretty good. I think next time I will leave out the sugar or maybe just give a sprinkle because I thought it was too sweet. Also, I do not like the way cabbage smells as it cooks. lol But it was worth it in flavor. - 11/6/13

    I seasoned the roast with salt, rosemary, and fennel then browned both sides before putting it in the crockpot. - 4/22/13

    The first time I made it in the crockpot, it seemed to make the veggies and fruit way too mushy and the pork quite dry (I always cut off all of the fat), but the second time in the oven at 375 for 2 hours, it turned out DELISH. I did NOT put in any sugar--the apple and onion were sweet enough. - 3/25/13

    Love this dish. I'm gluten intolerant and find this a complete and satisfying meal. Plus its easy to put together and reheat for quick lunch/dinner during the work week. Only change I made was to boost up the onions (and I use sweet onions). - 3/9/13

    Very good and super simple. I added potatoes about 1 1/2 hours before it was done. Didn't add the sugar as per other comments. Husband loved it and took it for lunch the next day. - 9/26/12
