Slow Cooker Pork and Apple Curry

SAVE ✓ SAVED ADD TO MEAL PLAN PRINT

This is a nice meal for fall when the apples are plentiful. It uses pork, apples and a very mild curry flavor. It is a great “intro to curry” for those new to that flavor. The apples give it a familiar sweetness. When trying a new flavor or ingredient with kids, it’s a good idea to prepare it with something familiar. The slow cooker really tenderizes the meat and the coconut mellows out the flavor.
