In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Season the Pork
Rub the spice mixture all over the pork shoulder, ensuring it is well coated. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Sear the Pork
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork shoulder on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Slow Cook the Pork
Transfer the seared pork to a slow cooker. Add the apple cider vinegar, BBQ sauce, and water. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the pork is tender and easily shredded.
