Preparation:

Step 1
• Preheat oven to 150°C.
Step 2
• Pork:
  
  Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the pork shoulder with salt and pepper. Add it to the pan and sear for about 5 minutes on each side, for a total of 15-20 minutes. Transfer the pork to a plate and set aside. Discard any rendered fat in the pan and return it to the stovetop.
Step 3
• Add the garlic and onion to the pan and cook until the onion softens slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the apple juice and deglaze the bottom of the pan.
Step 4
• Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Add the applesauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and vinegar and stir. Carefully return the pork to the pot and cover with a lid. Place the pot in the oven and simmer until the pork is very tender, about 3 hours.
Step 5
• Coleslaw with apple:
  
  Meanwhile, combine the cabbage, carrots, green onions, and apples in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, parsley, mustard, honey, vinegar, and salt until smooth. Add the dressing to the salad and toss to combine thoroughly.
Step 6
• When the pork is done, carefully remove the lid and serve directly from the casserole. Slice it and serve with the cooking liquid and a salad.
