Slow Cooker Pork Loin
I’m excited to share this recipe for pork loin today. Being a busy mom, I love easy recipes that I can throw in the slow cooker and forget about for the rest of the day. My mom makes an amazing slow cooker pork loin that calls for apricot jam. However, I’m working hard to keep processed sugar out of my mouth, so I came up with my version of slow cooker pork loin that turned out delectably!
Slow Cooker Pork Loin
- 1 5 lb boneless pork loin roast
- 1 cup organic apple juice
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon real salt
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Place pork loin roast in slow cooker fat side up. Pour in the apple juice. Generously sprinkle garlic powder over the roast. Add salt. Mix honey, mustard and vinegar together and pour on top.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours.
Enjoy!
Have you ever cooked pork loin? Do you have a favorite method?

Thanks for your comment, Kellie! I will have to check out the Crofter’s spread! 🙂
This looks delicious. I’m going to try it as I actually have a pork loin in the freezer. I don’t usually have juice on hand, so I’m wondering if I can come up with a substitute.
I always need more crock pot recipes!

I don’t have a slow cooker pork loin recipe but I do have one for the oven!
Pork Loin
Yellow Mustard
Garlic Salt
Seasoning Salt
Lemon Pepper
Garlic Powder
Nutmeg
Olive Oil
Place the Pork Loin in a 9 x 13 baking dish (or whatever you have), brush/rub yellow mustard on all sides of pork loin.
I don’t have measurements for the seasonings but I just lightly coat all sides of the pork loin with all the seasonings listed.
*note – be sparingly with the nutmeg – alittle goes a long way*
Add a little olive oil in the bottom of pan to prevent sticking and will also make a little au jus.
place in the oven on 350 until done
We normally serve with yellow rice, green beans & crescent rolls:)
Sounds delicious! Thanks, Melissa! 🙂

What size Crock Pot do you use for this? I have a 7 qt and a smaller one.
I have a small and a large crock pot and I use the large for this recipe. 🙂
Can I cook on high at half the time?
That should work just fine, Deanna! 🙂
Can I put this in the crock pot frozen?
Yes. It will just take longer to cook through.
Why why why did you show a picture of pork loin with lemons and rosemary when they were not part of the recipe?
