Pork Roast with Apples and Onions

Comfort food at it’s best, sweet and pungent, Pork Roast with Apples and Onions, is one of my favorite autumn combinations.

It’s not just how it tastes, I never tire of how it smells, with a toasty and warm bonus, it warms my house while it’s baking low and slow in my oven.

You’ll need a 3 pound pork loin or shoulder roast, and olive oil, along with these starring players.

Begin by seasoning your roast with salt and pepper.  Heat a large pot over medium to high heat.  Sear roast on all sides in olive oil till brown.

Reduce heat to low and add apple juice, beef stock, apple slices, onions, and bay leaf.  Cover and simmer for 3 hours, or bake in a 300˚F oven.

Remove the roast, apples, and onions to a platter.  Cover with foil and keep warm while you thicken the juice to make a lovely gravy.  I served my Pork Roast with Apples and Onions with mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, (my husbands favorite thing), with a crisp green salad.

    Thanks Kelsie, I love Apple Pears and we grow them too, only 2 trees though. I appreciate your excellent suggestions. You’re right, this variety of pears would be ideal.
