Slow Cooker Pork Loin With Thyme Apple Sauce and Mint Leaf Recipe

Transfer the seared pork loin to your crock pot or slow cooker. Add the remaining sauce ingredients to the pot around the pork.

Cook on high for 2 hours, then reduce the heat and cook on low for an additional hour. Once cooked, carefully remove the pork loin from the slow cooker and slice it into thick pieces. If you prefer, you can also shred it into fork-sized chunks.

Pour all the liquid and any solids from the slow cooker, along with the remaining sauce ingredients (like the apples), into a blender. Blend until the sauce is smooth, then pass it through a sieve into a sauce pot to catch any larger bits.

Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently. Let it cook until the volume has reduced by half and the sauce has thickened slightly, enough to coat the back of a spoon.
