Slow Cooker Apricot Glazed Pork Loin cooks up tender and moist in a sweet and tangy apricot glaze. It's an easy dinner that slow cooks in the crock pot all day.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork loin with salt and pepper and brown it on all sides. Place in a 6-quart or larger crock pot.
Add the onion. Stir together the preserves, chicken broth, soy sauce, dry mustard, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder and pour over pork loin.
Cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 5 to 6 hours.
Mix together the cornstarch with 1 1/2 tablespoons of cold water.
Open the crock pot and skim the fat off the top. Add the cornstarch mixture and stir it in. Cover and cook on HIGH for 15 minutes.
Notes
You can use either bone-in or boneless pork. I find they cook in about the same amount of time.If you use a smaller pork loin than is called for, decrease the cook time by at least 1 hour.
