As the leaves start to change and the air turns crisp, the arrival of autumn brings with it a yearning for cozy comforts and heartwarming dishes.
To complete your fall menu and capture the essence of the season, look no further than the beloved and quintessential autumn ingredient – apples.
When it comes to serving up these comforting fall classics, it doesn’t have to be a complicated endeavor. Here’s a smart solution: apple butter.

Crafted by slow-simmering apples in a mixture of sugar, apple cider, and spices, apple butter is far more than just a spread; it’s a versatile ingredient that can elevate a wide array of your cherished sweet and savory recipes.

I prefer to use Musselman’s Apple Butter, which lends a unique taste to main dishes and desserts alike.

Where Does Pork Loin Come From
Pork loin comes from the upper back of the pig, running along both sides of the backbone between the shoulder and the leg.
It is a lean, tender cut often used for roasting, grilling or slicing into chops.
Can Pork Loin Be a Little Pink
Yes, pork loin can be slightly pink as long as it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) with a 3-minute rest time.

Oh Jennifer – that looks succulent and beautiful! Thanks for sharing on the What’s for Dinner Link up!
Oh gosh does that ever look good! I love the idea of the apple butter; it’s so rich and thick and I bet it tasted wonderful in this – plus once I open a jar I’m really excited and use it several times, then maybe the next week once or twice, and then it tends to languish in the fridge. This would be a great way to ensure it doesn’t sit too long after I lose interest!
It’s going on my must make list!
Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for sharing with us at Throwback Thursday!
Mollie
Oh yes! I remember trying apple butter as a child and being hooked ever since. But the same thing happens to me! Open up a new jar and it just sits in the fridge :/ Enjoy the pork loin recipe 🙂
I love slow cooking and this pork looks so delicious. Thanks for linking up and sharing at #overthemoon I’ll be trying this recipe for sure.

I made this last night for supper…super delicious! Will definitely be making this again and often!
Yeah! It’s definitely a favorite 🙂
This recipe is so delicious. I did not have apple butter so used apple sauce, worked very well I love this recipe
Oh always love hearing tricks and how my readers have tweaked the recipes 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
What can I use in place of apple butter?
Thanks!
I made this yesterday, and it had to be the best pork roast ive ever made!! Love the sauce. Thanks so much love it!!!
This is definitely an easy winter go-to recipe we use 😀 Glad it was a hit with your family.
This was a big hit at my house! My husband, son, his wife and 2 of my grandkids loved it! Every time one of my grandkids put food in their mouths I heard “mmmm”!! I had a 4 1/2Lb tender loin so I added extra veggies and used applesauce because the stores was out of apple butter. Next time I’ll have the apple butter and will definitely add even more onions along with the extra veggies. It filled an 8qt crockpot and was done at 7 1/2 hrs. We spend our Saturdays playing with our grandkids and watching college football (Go UGA) so anytime I can make a great meal with very little work is a win for me!
Thanks for a great recipe! It’s been added to my rotation. I’m looking forward to making it with the apple butter.
Wonderful! so glad your family ate it right up 😀
I made this using a 4 1/2Lb pork loin and it was a big hit with my family! Every time one of my grandkids put some in their mouths I heard “mmm”!! I had to use applesauce instead of apple butter, looking forward to trying it with that. Definitely going in my favorite folder. Thanks for great recipe!
