EASY Crock-Pot Tenderloin with Apples

To Kyle...hope you still aren't waiting to ... you know.  :)

This recipe is so easy and is actually two meals in one!  We tried it for the first time last week, and it was delicious.  Throw this together in the morning, and in 15-20 minutes you'll have a meal in the crock-pot ready to eat by 6pm when you walk in the door from work (and the house will smell amazing)!

You'll need:
2 to 2 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin; trim the fat and slice into 1" pieces
2 large granny smith apples; peeled, cored, and chopped
1/2 cup appplesauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

Place the pork in the bottom of a crock-pot, cover with remaining ingredients and stir to coat the pork.  Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours.  Serves 8, and you can pair it with steamed veggies and rice or mashed potatoes.  The pork dish is only 5 weight watcher points per serving! 

When we finished supper, I took the leftover pork (which was falling apart tender) and shredded it, tossed it with our favorite BBQ sauce, and put it in the fridge.  The next day we had delicious pork BBQ sandwiches!
