Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin with Apple & Rosemary

If you want to make a savory meal with minimal prep time, then it’s time to bust out the crock pot. This dish uses pork tenderloin slow roasted with apples, rosemary, and sweet potatoes for a protein-packed dish that’s full of flavor. Just throw all the ingredients in a crockpot and let this slow cooker pork tenderloin work its magic.  

The pork cooks in four short hours, just enough to get that juicy, perfect texture. However, if you find it too dry, add about ¼ cup of water or Paleo Beef Broth to the pot. Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.  

Tips: 

  • If you don’t have a cinnamon stick, you can use 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.  
  • Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) omissions and substitutions are listed in the recipe ingredients.
