I never eat venison, but I loved this recipe!!! I made it for my husband and his friends with the works - mashed potatoes and gravy -- it was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend it!!

Yummy. Added 2 Cortland Apple slices. I also added the beef broth right at the beginning too. I served over baby red smashed potatoes and was delish! Everyone ate it including my 2 year old (4 year old wouldn't touch it).

Neither me or my fiance (who LOVES venison) cared for this recipe at all. The roast was dry, it smelled strange while cooking and didn't taste good. Won't be trying this recipe again. Sorry.

This was fabulous. I added some corn starch late in the cooking to make the gravy a little thicker. Served over mashed potatoes, it was a great meal.

This was tasty and a great way to prepare venison. I have others I like slightly better but I'll use this on occasion for a gamier piece of meat.

Made exactly as written. This is the best venison recipe I have ever cooked. The meat literally fell off the bone. Definitely a keeper.

Excellent way to prepare venison. Normally venison is too gamey for my liking but the apple worked perfectly to mask the gameyness. Meat turned out extremely tender and the sauce went well with mashed potatoes. I added a bit more apple and rubbed the meat with salt, pepper and rosemary prior to cooking. Next time I plan on adding a bit of maple syrup or apple juice to the roast for a little extra flavor.

Didn't care for this recipe. The roast was dry (not enough juice to cover the roast). The gravy had a weird taste. Although I must admit it smelled wonderful as it was cooking...the smell did not match the taste. Definitely missing something...taste. It didn't have any flavor. We eat venison all the time, so I was disappointed this one didn't work out. Definitely won't be making this one again. Sorry.

Very good! I made this as directed except at the end I made some modifications. I removed the roast from the slow cooker & shredded it. I discarded the apples but not the onions. I whisked one can of cream of mushroom soup into the juices and heated. I then tossed the meat w/the sauce and it was wonderful!!! I served it with veggies & baked yams. It would also be very good on sandwich rolls. This is definately a keeper! Thank you!

This is the best recipe I have found for deer meat. You must keep in the slowcooker for at least twelve hours for it to become tender. I never liked deer roast until now, even my four year old granddaughter loved it!

So delicious! It didn't taste gamey at all. I didn't have the beef bouillion, so I strained the juices out of the crock pot. Fabulous! I added a little sugar to the juices before serving and it was heaven! I could barely cut it since it was so tender. It just fell apart. I cooked it on high for 3 hours and then low for 1. My 11 month old ate it up, as did my 7 and 6 year olds, husband and myself. Definitely a keeper! **Just wanted to add that I made it again the following week with applesauce instead of the apple and it was just as delicious!

This is an excellent recipe for the venison stored in my freezer! Loved the idea of the apples. This roast came out so moist and tasted just like a beef roast. Left this in the slow cooker for 10hrs on low. I did rub salt and pepper on the roast and added extra garlic. Will definitely make this again! Thanks for a great recipe.

very, very good and really easy! my husband is an avid hunter and gave this a big thumbs up, he absolutely loved it and I enjoyed it too. It makes for a great leftover sandwich too. I used the suggestion of beef broth instead of a boullion cube and water. I will definitely make this again!

I had never made deer before, and I loved this recipe. I did add half a can of beef broth, some fresh mushrooms, and I did two apples instead of one. I put it over mashed potatoes like someone else said to...and my family loved it. It was very tender and reminded me so much of beef, but was richer and better :) Thanks for the recipe!

Just finished eating this lovely roast. Definitely needs the gravy (tried it without the sauce and it was dry)I was pleasantly surprised that apple gravy would be so delicious! We ate it alongside mashed yams and potatos. Delicious and happy to have a different recipe for our freezer full of venison.

Finally I tried this recipe and my husband and I were a little skeptical when we jad our first taste on the meat without the sauce. We changed our minds after adding it. It was simply delicious! I added some apple sauce on top of fresh apples and followed the rest of the instructions. We had great sauce for the roast but next time I will peel the skin off the apple before cooking as it was a little messing when I removed it after cooking, and blend onion and garlic and mix with the apple sauce to make the finish texture smoother. An absolute great recipe especially when you have time constrain and want to prepare a nice, decent meal. Definitely will make it again!
