Crock Pot Bavarian Pot Roast

I am using apples again!  My youngest went on two apple orchard field trips,  so I have plenty to spare.  This recipe is easy to prepare, and very mild in taste.  I will easily get two meals (2 adults, 3 kids) out of this roast.  Make sure to serve with mashed potatoes and gravy.




3 to 4 lb rump roast
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
3 whole cloves
4 medium apples, cored and quartered
1 small onion, sliced
1/2 cup apple juice or water
3 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons water

• Lightly rub top of meat with oil
• Dust with salt, pepper and ginger
• Insert cloves
• Place apples and onions in crock pot
• Place roast on top
• Pour in apple juice
• Cover and cook on low for 10 - 12 hours or high for 5 - 6 hours
• In a small pot, mix flour and water together
• Add juices and cook until thickened
• (or remove roast and apples.  Turn crock pot onto high and stir in flour/water mixture;  cover and cook until thickened)
• Serve with mashed potatoes and cooked apples on the side
