Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Step 2
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork with salt and pepper and brown in the hot oil, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer to a roasting pan just large enough to hold it.
Step 3
Combine apple cider, onions, garlic, and sage in a bowl; pour over pork and cover.
Step 4
Roast in the preheated oven until pork is very tender, about 2 1/2 hours.
Step 5
Remove pork from the liquid and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Skim and discard fat from the braising liquid; serve liquid alongside pork. Garnish with apple slices.
