Set aside until time to eat.
Prepare the Apple Cabbage Slaw
Using a mandolin or a very sharp knife, shred the cabbage into fine, thin pieces. Place in a large bowl.
Using a mandolin or a very sharp knife, slice the apples into long, thin pieces like the cabbage. Toss in the lemon juice. Add to the bowl with the cabbage.

To make this recipe in the Instant Pot: Follow the instructions, but cook on Manual High Pressure for 30 minutes. (15 minutes per lb. for the pork butt.) Manually release the pressure when done. Once pressure has been released, remove the lid and shred the pork.
