Shredded Apple Pork

Our pressure cooker is temporarily out of commission , but luckily my parents have one that they are lending us while they are off on vacation.  They also gave us some of their leftover apple juice that they didn't want to leave in the fridge, so I decided to find something interesting to do with it tonight.  What I came up with was shredded apple pork.

3 lb pork butt
1 honeycrisp apple
1.5 yellow onion
equal parts apple juice and gingerale
3 tbsp powdered ginger
approx 1/4 cup (loose) brown sugar
a few tbsp of maple syrup (dark)
chili powder
3 garlic cloves

I mixed all the ingredients except the pork to taste, added the pork, and then ran high pressure for 90 minutes.  After, I shredded the pork, pulling out the fatty bits, and strained out the the apples and onion and mixed them with the pork.  A taste test confirmed that it was as delicious as it smelled! The maple syrup we have is very strong, so the flavor came through wonderfully.  Not sure how we will eat this tomorrow, but no matter what we decide, it will be good!
