Open-Faced Porchetta Sandwich with Caramelized Apples

This apple-and-shredded-pork mixture is so colossal and tasty, it doesn't need a second slice of bread. Eat it with a fork and knife to get the flavor of each component in every bite.

    Delicious, but VERY sweet. I would use a little less of the Caramelized Apple sauce next time.
