Ingredients

3 (12 fluid ounce) bottles hard apple cider
¾ cup brown sugar, divided
1 (2 pound) pork tenderloin
½ cup butter
1 large onion, cut into strips
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon onion powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 large Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, and sliced
6 hard rolls, split

Directions

Combine hard apple cider and 1/4 cup brown sugar in a slow cooker; mix until dissolved. Add pork tenderloin.
Cook on Low for 6 hours until very tender. Shred pork with a fork.
About 20 minutes before pork is finished, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook and stir onion in butter until well browned, about 10 minutes.
