Preparation:
1. Pre-heat the crockpot over low or high heat, depending on the setting you want to cook the pork on.
2. Sprinkle the pork with sage, salt, and pepper. Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, then spray with non-stick cooking spray. Add the pork and brown on all sides.
3. Remove the pork to the crockpot. Add the onions, apples, apple cider, and mustard to the pan the pork was browned in; allow the onions to become translucent and scrape up the browned bits from the pork on the bottom of the pan.
4. Pour the hot apple mixture onto the pork; sprinkle with thyme. Cook the pork on high for 4 hours or low for 7-8 hours. Slice the pork and serve it with the apples, onions, and jus.
