Caramel Apple Pulled Pork
The perfect fall meat treat, this caramel apple pulled pork is reminiscent of a caramel apple without being overly sweet. The pork is rubbed in our sweet Apple Pie Rub then smoked and braised in Apple Cider and hunks of apple pieces for tartness. Drizzle with a little caramel at the end and serve with a fresh and crunchy apple slaw.
