Apple Crockpot Pork Ribs

I often see boneless pork ribs in the grocery store and wonder what to do with them. I came across some recipes for stuffed pork where you slit the meat and stuff them. Perfect!

1lb boneless pork ribs
2 Tbsp honey
cinnamon
1 apple (I used a Granny Smith)
1 Tsp Thyme
4 slices raisin bread
 
Recipe Adapted from My Crossfit Paleo Journey
 
Cut up an apple. Place the pork in your crockpot and put apple slices in the slits between the ribs. Drizzle honey over the top and then sprinkle with cinnamon. Distribute any remaining apple on top. Cook on LOW no more than 6 hours to prevent them from drying out. 
When I got home, I cut up the raisin bread into bite sized pieces and baked them in the oven until they were crisp and brown (15 minutes). Sprinkle them with thyme and then throw the mixture in the crockpot and stir. Serve immediately before the "stuffing" turns to mush. 
 
Sorry for the lack of an after photo. I was very hungry for it and although this tasted great, it didn't look very picturesque anyways.

Hindsight: These were still a bit dry for my taste. Maybe try adding 1/8 cup apple cider to the crockpot or even basting the pork with some apple butter.
