Pat the pork roast dry with paper towels and season it generously with salt, pepper, cinnamon, and cloves on all sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering and fragrant, then carefully place the pork to sear.
Sear the pork for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a golden brown crust forms, releasing a warm, nutty aroma.
Transfer the seared pork to the slow cooker and pour in the apple cider, making sure the liquid covers at least half of the roast.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours, or until the pork is fork-tender and easily pulls apart, filling your home with an inviting cinnamon and apple scent.
Once cooked, remove the pork from the slow cooker onto a plate and tent with foil to rest for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, transfer the cider sauce from the slow cooker to a saucepan and simmer over medium heat until it reduces and thickens slightly, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Shred the rested pork with two forks and return it to the slow cooker or serving dish, then pour the warm cider sauce over the top.
Serve the apple cider pork with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread, spooning plenty of sauce over each portion for maximum flavor.
