1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine the cumin, cinnamon, garlic powder, chipotle powder, and 1 tsp salt.

   Pour the applesauce into the bottom of a slow cooker. Using your hands, rub the spice mixture all over the pork, and place on top of the applesauce.

   Cook on high for 5-6 hours, or until pork shreds easily with a fork.

4. 4

   Remove pork to a bowl and shred, removing any fat.

   Strain the liquid from the slow cooker into a gravy strainer or fat separator.

6. 6

   Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker, along with the strained liquid.

7. 7

   Add additional kosher salt to taste (I use approx 1 tsp).

   To make the slaw, whisk together vinegar, oil, salt, sugar, and a small drizzle of honey until emulsified. Pour over slaw mixture and stir to combine.

   To serve, fill each roll with pork mixture, and top with a spoonful of slaw.
