Crockpot Apple Honey Pork Loin

I saw this recipe and thought it looked really good so I thought I would try it.

 
I forgot to take a picture of the pork loin in the wrapper but I bought this at Walmart. Then I made slits in it like the recipe calls for. (see recipe below) and drizzled honey in the slits.


I peeled and cored the apples and then sliced them and inserted the slices of apple into the sliced pork

 
I put sliced apples in the crockpot and sprinkled cinnamon over the apples then I had to cut my pork roast to fit in the pot. Layered more apples on top with more honey and more cinnamon. I set the crockpot to low for 7 hours.

Done! This picture shows the apples on the top of the pork. It kind of looks like fat but this was a very lean piece of pork. I thought this recipe was good but will stick to my recipe for Apple Butter Pork Chops. Less work and better flavor. Even the hubby said this wasn't as good as the other recipe and this one needed brown sugar.
