This Apple Hickory Pulled Pork Sliders recipe is the ultimate crowd-pleaser! Tender, slow-cooked pulled pork is tossed in our Tabañero Apple Hickory BBQ Sauce, piled onto toasted slider buns, and topped with crisp apple slaw. Every bite brings together smoky hickory, sweet apple, tangy slaw, and tender pork for a deliciously bold slider that’s perfect for parties, game days, or an easy weekend meal!
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs pork shoulder
- 1 cup Tabañero Apple Hickory BBQ Sauce (plus more for serving)
- Slider buns
- 1 cup apple slaw (coleslaw mixed with diced apples)
Instructions:
- Cook the Pork: Season the pork shoulder with salt and pepper. Cook low and slow at 300°F for 3–4 hours, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 205°F and shreds easily with a fork.
- Shred & Sauce: Shred the pork and toss with 1 cup of Tabañero Apple Hickory BBQ Sauce until evenly coated. Return to low heat for 5–10 minutes so the sauce caramelizes into the meat.
- Toast the Buns: Lightly toast the slider buns until golden brown.
- Build the Sliders: Pile the warm pulled pork onto each toasted bun.
- Add the Slaw: Top with a generous scoop of crisp apple slaw.
- Finish & Serve: Drizzle with extra Tabañero Apple Hickory BBQ Sauce and serve warm.
Tip: For the best flavor, let the BBQ sauce caramelize into the pulled pork before assembling your sliders.
