    1. This recipe makes 8 servings, so you will want to divide the ingredients between 2 freezer bags (to make two 4-serving meals). You will prepare the sauce, then place half of the sauce in each bag; then you will put half of the apples and the pork in each bag and seal.

  2. If you cut the pork shoulder into cubes, this translates into a instant pot recipe easily. Just place all in IP and pressure cook for 35 mins or so (I have an 8qt) and let natural release.
