Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 (3 pound) pork shoulder roast, trimmed of excess fat
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 cups apple cider
2 onions, halved and sliced
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 tablespoon dried sage
1 apple - peeled, cored, and sliced

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork with salt and pepper and brown in the hot oil, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer to a roasting pan just large enough to hold it.
Combine apple cider, onions, garlic, and sage in a bowl; pour over pork and cover.
Roast in the preheated oven until pork is very tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
Remove pork from the liquid and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Skim and discard fat from the braising liquid; serve liquid alongside pork. Garnish with apple slices.
