Quick and easy dinner here with the crockpot. It has that Fall flavor using up some apple butter I had in the fridge. I’m not going to lie, it looked kind of gross when the timer was up, BUT once you shred it the dried-out jelly on top blends all together and it tasted pretty good. I served the shredded me on buns and also did some in stuffed potatoes.
