Apple Stuffed Pork Loin

I'm on a roll this week....lots of new recipes!!  I kept seeing a video of this recipe on Facebook and it looked so simple and so yummy that I just had to try it.  It did NOT disappoint--couldn't have been easier and was so delicious!!  Plus the apples and cinnamon made my house smell wonderful!

For those doing Weight Watchers, the only things in it with points are the pork itself and the honey which is a small amount.  I estimated what I ate at 6 Smart Points--4 for the pork and 2 for the honey.

Served with mini potatoes & a salad.

Apple Stuffed Pork Loin

1 pork loin (about 3 pounds)
1 large apple, cored & sliced into thin wedges
1 onion, sliced
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
honey

Place pork loin in crockpot.  Cut slices 1/2-2/3 of the way through and about 3/4 of an inch apart.  Fill the cuts with the apple wedges (use the whole apple).  Place the onions in the crockpot. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon cinnamon and 1 teaspoon salt on the roast.  Drizzle honey over the roast--no set amount but don't go too crazy!  I probably used about 1/4 cup I'm guessing.

The original recipe said to cook on low for 3 hours but I put mine on low for 6-7 and it was perfect!  I'm not sure if it would have been done in 3 hours.  Plus I like it well done and so it kind of falls apart.  Guarantee you will love this!
