Autumn Harvest Pork Loin

1 cup apple juice/cider
1 1/2-2 pound pork loin (I used a 2 1/2 pound pork roast)
salt
pepper
2 large apples (I used honeycrisp), peeled and sliced
1 whole butternut squash, peeled and cubed
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp sage

Heat juice in hot skillet. Sear pork on all sides.
Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper on all sides and place in slow cooker with juices.
Combine apples and squash. Sprinkle with herbs. Stir. Place around pork.
Cover. Cook on low for 5-6 hours (for the pork roast, I did more like 8-10).
Remove pork from cooker. Let stand 10-15 minutes.
Slice and serve with apples and squash.
