Pulled Pork and Toppings

Method

Preparation and Assembly

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pulled Pork

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Rub the pork shoulder with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Place the pork in a roasting pan and cover it with foil. Roast in the oven for about 4 hours or until tender and easily shredded.

  2. 2

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. Use two forks to shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.

  3. 3

    Combine with BBQ Sauce

    Mix the shredded pork with BBQ sauce in a bowl until well coated.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Smokey Apple

    In a serving dish, layer the BBQ pulled pork, sprinkle hickory smoked cheddar cheese on top, and add crispy apple chips for crunch. Drizzle additional BBQ sauce on top if desired.
