Instructions
Place the oven rack in its lowest position and preheat to 250°F.
In a small bowl, mix together Herbes de Provence, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Rub all over roast.
In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add roast and brown on all sides, 7 to 10 minutes.
Remove roast and place on plate.
Lower heat to medium and add shallots to Dutch oven. Sauté 3 minutes.
Add apples and sugar. Sauté 5 to 7 minutes.
Kill burner heat and add roast back into pan, along with any shed juices. Cover the pot with a layer of foil, and place the cover on top of that. Cook 30 to 50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the inner temperature reaches 140°F to 145°F.
Remove roast from Dutch oven.
Place on a cutting board, tent with foil, and let it sit for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, add some salt and pepper to the apple mixture, stir, and cover to keep warm.
Slice up pork and serve with shallots and apples spooned over it.
