Description

This Apple Cider Braised Pork Shoulder recipe delivers juicy, fork-tender pork with a subtle sweetness from apple cider, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 lb boneless or bone-in pork shoulder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large onions, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups apple cider (not hard cider)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 apples, cored and sliced
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Pat the pork shoulder dry and season all sides with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer the pork to a plate.
  3. Add sliced onions and garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  4. Return the pork to the pot. Add apple cider, chicken broth, apple slices, rosemary, and thyme. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Cover the Dutch oven and transfer to the preheated oven. Braise for 3 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender.
  6. Remove the pork from the pot and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing or shredding. Serve with the braising liquid and cooked apples.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the pork with the spice rub overnight in the fridge.
  • If you don’t have a Dutch oven, a heavy roasting pan tightly covered with foil works.
  • Try using freshly pressed apple cider for deeper apple flavor.
  • For thicker sauce, simmer the braising liquid on the stovetop after removing the pork until reduced to your liking.
  • This recipe can be made ahead and reheated.
