Apple Glazed Pork Roast

Hi Ladies! I must confess, I am experimenting as I changed this recipe to work for a freezer meal (since raw apples don't freeze well) so I apologize if it doesn't work quite the same! The recipe below explains both ways. Any feedback or suggestions would be great!

For your meal... thaw roast and apple mixture in fridge overnight. Rub roast with salt and pepper and then brown the outside for just a few minutes in fry pan to seal in the flavors. Place in crock pot sprayed with Pam and cover with apple mixture and 1/4 cup apple cider. Cook on low all day, aprox 8-10 hours or until done.

2 lb. pork roast
3 apples (I used Pink Lady)
1/4 cup apple juice/apple cider
1/2 tsp. ginger
pinch cinnamon
3 Tbs. brown sugar
Salt and Pepper to taste.

DIRECTIONS When Freezing the meal:
Peel, core and slice apples. Cook with about 2 cups of water on the stove for approx 20-25 minutes or until soft. Remove from heat and stir in ginger, cinnamon, brown sugar. Cool and freeze for a later date. Then follow directions above.
DIRECTIONS When Starting Fresh:
Peel, core and slice apples. Place on bottom of sprayed crock pot. Place slightly browned roast on top. Mix apple juice, sugar and seasonings and spoon over top.
