Instructions

Cover baking paper and 2 layers of aluminum foil; bake 30 minutes and then reduce heat to 180 °C and continue baking for 1 hour. Remove paper and foil; turn pork; bake, uncovered, for a further 20 -30 minutes or until pork is very tender.
7. Heat 2 tbsp sunflower oil in a heavy-based frying pan over high heat. Add apples and 1/2 cup of the pork braising liquid; bring to the boil. Cook, rotating apples halfway during cooking, for 5 minutes or until apples brown and are heated through and braising liquid is reduced by half.
