Slow Cooked BBQ Brisket Sandwich
Report
The combination of sweet apples and smoky chipotle peppers makes this the most flavorful BBQ Brisket Sandwich recipe ever! It's so easy to make in a Crock Pot or slow cooker and the taste is out of this world! I recommend serving the shredded brisket on toasted buns with coleslaw for an incredible meal.

Instructions
- Dice the apples and onions, then add them to the bottom of a large slow cooker.
- Combine the garlic powder, chipotle powder, black pepper and kosher salt in a small bowl. Rub this mixture on the brisket, then place it in the slow cooker on top of the apples and onions.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ketchup, minced chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, brown sugar, apple juice, rice vinegar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce. Pour this mixture over the brisket.
- Slow cook the brisket on high for 6 hours or on low for 10-12 hours.
- Remove the beef brisket from the slow cooker, place it on a cutting board and rest for 10 minutes. Shred with two forks or Meat Claws. Add the shredded brisket back to the slow cooker and toss it with the sauce.
- Toast the buns in a skillet on the stove. Add shredded brisket to the bottom bun, then add the top bun.
Notes
- These sandwiches are delicious topped with kale apple slaw, coleslaw, or pickles.
- You can make this recipe with other cuts of beef. If you can’t find brisket, I recommend using tri tip or chuck roast in it’s place.
- You can shred the brisket and add it back to a slow cooker set to warm for up to 4 hours. This is perfect if you’re serving the sandwiches at a party.
- If you prefer a chopped brisket sandwich, you can remove the brisket from the slow cooker after it’s cooked and chop it instead of shredding it.
- If you don’t have a slow cooker, you can cook the brisket in the oven. Add the apples and onions to a large pot, or dutch oven. Season the brisket, then add it to the dutch oven. Prepare the bbq sauce, then pour it over the brisket. Cover the dutch oven with a lid, or tightly with a piece of foil, and cook at 325°F for 3 hours.
- Newer slow cookers may cook faster than older slow cookers. I checked my brisket at 4, 5 and 6 hours on high. After 6 hours it fell apart perfectly with the touch of a fork. I know that some newer slow cookers cook a little quicker on high, so adjust the times as necessary for your slow cooker.
- Store leftover brisket in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 6 days.
