SWAPS
I haven’t tried this dish with many swaps, I guess you could leave out the apple juice and use more water, or use a different sweetener in place of the brown sugar. I have made this recipe for many years, and it’s delicious just the way it is written.
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
This recipe is so easy, many people ask if we cut the roast before putting it in the crock pot. Yes, we will cut it to fit the crock pot.
