- 1 large yellow onion, sliced
Condiments & Sauces
- 15 oz can apple pie filling
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Others
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Slice the yellow onion thinly and evenly spread the slices across the bottom of your 6-quart slow cooker, creating a flavorful bed for the pork tenderloin to rest on.

Notes
- For the most tender results, opt for the low and slow cooking time.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the pork after cooking and reduce the sauce on the stovetop before serving.
- This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables to complement the sweet and savory flavors.
- Leftovers store well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat beautifully.
