Pulled Pork Tenderloin with Apple Butter BBQ Sauce
Author: Rachel's Healthy Plate
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 lb Smithfield Slow Roasted Golden Rotisserie Marinated Fresh Pork Tenderloin
- ¼ c water
- 1 c apple butter, homemade or store bought* (my crock pot apple butter recipe is linked above)
- ¼ c no sugar added ketchup
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dry mustard
- 1 tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp chili powder
- ⅛ tsp garlic powder
- pinch of black pepper
- Apple and Greek yogurt slaw, for serving, if desired (see Notes section for recipe)
Instructions
- Place pork tenderloin in crockpot with ¼ c water.
- Cook on low heat for 4 hours or high heat for 2 hours, until the center has reached 160F.
- Prepare BBQ sauce by combining apple butter with ketchup, vinegar, dry mustard, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, pepper, and Worcestershire. Set aside until ready to use.
- Once pork is cooked removed from crockpot and cut into 5 pieces. Allow to cool for a few minutes. Shred pork using two large forks and transfer into a large bowl.
- Mix pork with the BBQ sauce (you can reserve ~1/4 cup to have a little extra for topping, if desired).
- Serve as desired - enjoy! I served mine as a sandwich topped with slaw.
Notes
Makes 6 servings of Pulled Pork Tenderloin with Apple Butter BBQ Sauce at 3 WW SmartPoints on both the Blue and Green WW plans. One serving is approximately 4.5 oz of cooked pork with sauce.
*If using store bought apple butter the WW points will be different and you should recalculate them based on the brand you use.
I use a light 80 calorie hamburger bun for 2 smart points and top with greek yogurt slaw for 0 smart points = 5 smart points for the entire sandwich as shown.
APPLE & GREEK YOGURT SLAW (0 WW smart points)

- 1 apple sliced into thin matchstick shaped pieces
- ½ c plain fat free greek yogurt
- 2-3 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 green onion, green parts only, diced
- ¼ tsp pepper
- ¼ tsp salt, more to taste
*Entire bowl is 0 smart points regardless of how you divide it
