Cook the pork: Add the pork, apple cider, vinegar, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and all seasonings to your slow cooker. Stir to coat. Cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 4 hours, until the pork is tender and shreds easily. Shred using two forks and toss back into the juices to soak up all the flavor.
Bake the sweet potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F. Pierce each potato with a fork a few times and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until soft when pierced with a knife. Cut them open, top with butter, salt and pepper and then gouda cheese, mash with fork.
Make the apple slaw: In a bowl, combine cabbage, apple, Greek yogurt or mayo, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Toss well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Assemble: Slice open each sweet potato, fluff the inside slightly with a fork, and top generously with pulled pork. Add a scoop of apple slaw on top for crunch and brightness.
