Chop the onion into eight wedges.

Combine apple cider, ketchup, brown sugar, barbecue sauce, and spices (cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper) in a bowl, mix until all the ingredients are well combined.

Place the chopped onion at the bottom of the slow cooker.

Put the pork shoulder, fat-side-up, on top of the onions in the slow cooker.

Pour the prepared sauce over the pork until it is covered.

Set the slow cooker on low heat and cook for 7 hours or until pork is tender and easily falls apart with a fork.

Remove the pork from the slow cooker onto a flat surface, separate the meat into shreds using two forks, discarding pieces of fat.

Place the shredded pork back into the slow cooker to mingle with the sauce for additional 10-15 minutes.

Serve the saucy, shredded pork piled high on a sandwich bun.
