Crock Pot Apple Cider Pork Roast

I love my crock pot. I use it at least once a week and often times more than that. There is nothing better than being able to come home to a wonderful smelling house, especially when there was little to do to prepare it. Since I like the ease that comes with the crock pot it shouldn't be a surprise that I love my bread maker too. Fresh bread without 99% of the work makes everything better. This pork has a great flavor with just a hint of sweetness. This was great as leftovers on toasted bread with some barbeque sauce.
