    Pulled Pork with Apple Juice and Dr. Pepper

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe Pin Recipe

    Pulled pork sandwiches were on the menu for dinner last night.  In a move made famous by  The Pioneer Woman, I added Dr. Pepper to the crock pot. I took it a step further and added apple juice as well. My Dr. Pepper addiction inspired my cooking yesterday in other ways too. Check out my recipe for Dr. Pepper Apple Cake.

    But, not ones to eat dessert before dinner, let's get back to the pulled pork. Since there was just two of us for dinner, I picked out a small pork shoulder-blade steak. It made the perfect amount of pulled pork for three hearty sandwiches. I cooked it for several hours in the slow cooker until it fell apart.  It bathed all day in a Dr. Pepper and apple juice hot tub. The result was sweet, juicy pulled pork.

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 pound Pork Shoulder
