By Linda Larsen, About.com

This delicious one dish crockpot recipe combines a pork sirloin roast with lots of vegetables, seasoned with allspice and apple butter.

Prep Time: 0 hour, 20 minutes

Cook Time: 8 hours, 0 minute

Ingredients:

  • 3 lb. boneless pork sirloin roast
  • 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 acorn squash

  • 1/2 cup apple butter
  • 3 Tbsp. prepared horseradish

Top with browned pork roast.

In a small bowl, mix together apple butter, horseradish, cornstarch, allspice, pepper, chicken broth, and thyme. Pour into slow cooker.
