This had a nice flavor and was so tender it literally shredded as I tried to slice it.

While the apple and garlic flavors didn't really stand out, the overall effect was a tasty pork roast! I did brown the roast in a skillet first and omitted the water (these days the meat is injected with so much "broth" that you don't need extra water).

So simple to throw together. My fiance requests it often. He thinks I slaved all day in the kitchen to make this yummy dish.

Very good! It didn't take 8 hours more like 6. Tender and juicy will serve left overs shredded on buns!

It was so moist and very flavorful. I added some potatoes to the slow cooker to make a whole meal. It was delicious and so easy to make!

We tried this and our roast was very dry and unflavorable. You couldn't taste the apple or garlic at all. Very disapointing!
