Ingredients

• 1 pork roast with skin
• 2 tbsps olive oil
• 1 tbsp sea salt
• 2 tsps black pepper
• 4 apples
• 2 tbsps lemon juice
• 2 tbsps sugar
• 100 mls (0.42 cup) water

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).
2. Pat the pork roast dry with kitchen paper. Rub the olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper into the scored skin.
3. Place the pork roast on a rack in a roasting tray and roast for 30 minutes.
4. Reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F) and continue roasting for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the pork is cooked through and the skin is crispy.
5. While the pork is roasting, peel, core, and chop the apples. Place them in a saucepan with lemon juice, sugar, and water.
6. Cook the apples over medium heat until they’re soft and beginning to break down, stirring occasionally.
7. Mash the apples to your desired consistency and set aside.
8. Once cooked, allow the pork to rest for 10 minutes before carving.
9. Serve the roast pork with the crackling and apple sauce on the side.

Notes

• Ensure the pork skin is scored for best results.
• Use fresh apples for a more flavorful sauce.
