I thought this was going to be really good, but not. There was no bacon flavor and the apples pretty much disappeared from 7 hrs. of cooking. Basically it was onions in broth with pork roast. I'll stick to my normal rub and slow cook it.

This turned out to be the best pork roast I have ever eaten... Maybe it was the roast itself but it actually melted in your mouth. I use and old fashioned Empire Apple. I removed the roast and added cornstarch to the pot liquid. It made a really tasty gravy. This will be a 'go to' recipe for my household.

Never thought I'd see a combination of apples and bacon. I could get on board with that!

Gave this one a shot, wasn't a favorite... I am going to try again with a different type of apple and a little less chicken broth (I used the whole can instead of measuring and there was way too much excess liquid)... will adjust my rating then.

Hi there! - We're sorry to hear you had some trouble with your recipe. We definitely recommend trying again with just the 1/2 cup of chicken broth, as listed in the recipe, as this is just the right amount of liquid needed. For the apples, we used gala apples when we made this dish in the Test Kitchen. - Enjoy!

I'm using pork shoulder because it has much more flavor than any cut of pork. Making it for the weekend.

I NEVER HAVE ROASTED RICE. I USE A RICE COOKER. BUT, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO BROWNING SOME TO SEE IF I LIKE IT. (I BET I WILL) IT PROVES THERE IS MORE THAN ONE WAYTO "SKIN A CAT", AND I LIKE TO IMPROVISE ON SOME RECIPES, AND BE A LITTLE INVENTUROUS, BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY, MANY WAYS TO CHANGE OR ADD TO A RECIPE, AND "HEY!!" YOU MIGHT FIND A BETTER WAY TO DO THINGS THAN WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING. THANKS Y'ALL FOR THE SUGGESTIONS! I'M GOING TO TRY THIS RECIPE THIS WEEK!

LOL......I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THAT COMENT GOT ON WITH THIS RECIPE. BECAUSE IT OBVIOUSLY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS RECIPE. YOU ARE CORRECT,...THERE WAS NOTHING SUGGESTING THE USE OF ROASTED RICE. GOOD GRIEF, WHAT A MIX UP. BUT, IT GAVE ME A GOOD LAUGH ANYWAY, REGARDLESS OF HOW IT HAPPENED TO GET ON THIS SITE FOR THIS PARTICULAR RECIPE. HAHA SORRY,....HOPE YOU WERE AMUSED.

It tasted fine, but not great. The meat was pretty bland and the vinegar is really all we tasted as a contrast. I won't be making it again.

Made this receipe and the only thing I would change is to salt and pepper the roast. Otherwise it was very good. The meat was so tender and the sweet & sour of the vinegar and apples gave it a great flavor.
