    Applesauce Pulled Pork Melissa Rushing Rogersville, MO

    My kids say this slow-cooker pulled pork is as good as what our local barbecue restaurant serves...or better! Its terrific for busy days. In the morning, just fill the crock, and when you arrive home, its waiting for you to enjoy!

    3 to 4 lbs. country-style pork ribs, cut into 6 pieces

    salt and pepper to taste1 c. cinnamon applesauce

    18-oz. bottle barbecue sauceOptional: 6 sandwich buns, split

    Season pork with salt and pepper; arrange in a large slow cooker.Spoon applesauce and barbecue sauce over pork. Cover and cook onlow setting for 8 hours, or until very tender. Pull pork apart with2 forks. Serve on sandwich buns, if desired. Makes 6 servings.

    Mini versions of favorite hot sandwiches are oh-so appealing...diners with light appetites can take just one, while those with

    heartier tastes can sample two or three. Try using small sandwichrolls or brown & serve dinner rolls instead of full-size buns.
