Pork and apple go together like Batman and Robin, and like that dynamic duo, this sandwich wears a costume and solves crime. Maybe not so much, but this sandwich is pure deliciousness, with crunchy apple supporting tender, juicy pork with golden BBQ sauce bathing them both. Leave the Joker-fighting to the cape-wearers and have this sandwich all to yourself.
