SLOW COOKER BBQ PULLED PORK
If you've spent any time on Pinterest or food blogs, you've likely come across a recipe for three-ingredient barbecue pulled pork that can be made in the slow cooker. Methods and ingredients vary, but the recipe almost always calls for boneless pork shoulder, some sort of dark cola (usually Dr Pepper or root beer) and barbecue sauce. Dubious? We were too, so we asked the members of our NYT Cooking Community Facebook page if anyone had ever made it and if they liked it. We received more than 150 very opinionated responses. Many readers have come up with their own clever twists, like using coffee or beer in place of cola, adding onions or chipotles, rubbing the meat with a spice blend and searing the meat before cooking. We tried cooking it a few different ways and found we liked this adaptation best. It calls for a few more ingredients and an extra step or two, but it's got layers of flavor and it's still mostly fuss-free. (You can find the pressure-cooker version of this recipe here.)

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the garlic and onion powders, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork. If you have time, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to overnight. If you don't, no worries; proceed to Step 2.
- Lightly grease the crock of a slow cooker. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear the pork until golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes each side. Add onion, if using, to the slow cooker. Add the pork on top of the onion. Pour soda over the pork and set the slow cooker to low for 6 to 8 hours, until the meat has collapsed and shreds easily.
- Drain most of the liquid from the slow cooker and shred the meat directly in the pot. Add about 1/2 cup of the barbecue sauce and stir to combine. (At this point, if you like crisp bits in your pulled pork, you can spread the shredded pork on a sheet pan and place under a broiler for a couple minutes then return to the slow cooker.) Taste and add more barbecue sauce, hot sauce, salt or pepper, if desired. Serve with soft rolls and extra sauce on the side.
Tips:
- For a smoky flavor, use smoked paprika or liquid smoke in the rub.
- Add a splash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to the applesauce for a tangy flavor.
- Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor in the applesauce.
- To make the pulled pork ahead of time, cook it in the slow cooker on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours. Then, let it cool completely and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- When you're ready to serve, reheat the pulled pork in the slow cooker on low for 2-3 hours or until warmed through.
Conclusion:
This applesauce crockpot pulled pork is an easy and delicious way to make a classic barbecue dish. The applesauce adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the pork, and the slow cooker makes it fall-apart tender. This recipe is perfect for a party or a potluck, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
