Set this one going in the morning and let the slow cooker do the heavy lifting while you go about your day. A savory rub and a tangy braise of apple juice, cider vinegar, and Worcestershire coax an inexpensive pork cut into meltingly tender shreds. By dinner you have juicy, fork-pulled pork ready for sandwiches, tacos, or piling high with your favorite BBQ sauce. Perfect for feeding a hungry crowd with almost no fuss.

Directions
- Pat the pork dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, combine all of the dry rub ingredients. Coat the pork thoroughly on all sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork for 2–3 minutes per side until nicely browned.
- In the slow cooker, whisk together the chicken broth, apple juice, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, Dijon mustard, and garlic.
- Place the pork into the slow cooker.
- Cook: Low: 8–10 hours (recommended) / High: 5–6 hours
- Remove the pork and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Shred using two forks, discarding any large pieces of fat.
- Skim excess fat from the cooking liquid, then stir ½–1 cup of the juices back into the shredded pork to keep it incredibly moist.
- For classic BBQ pulled pork, toss with BBQ sauce and simmer on Warm for another 15–20 minutes.
