APPLE CINNAMON PORK TENDERLOIN



Apple Cinnamon Pork Tenderloin image

This meal is simple to make and delicious. A great substitution at Christmas if you don't want the labour of preparing a turkey dinner. Using dried cranberries instead of raisins adds great colour to the dish. I use the ingredient amounts and cooking times as estimates and vary them to suit the size of the pork tenderloin. I sometimes also add some fruity wine vinegar to the apple mixture for some added flavour.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (1 1/2 pound) pork tenderloins
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided, or more as needed
3 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, and sliced into eighths
2 medium sweet onions, sliced vertically
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, divided
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
1 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Trim all silver skin from tenderloins; pat dry using paper towels. Rub 1 teaspoon vegetable oil over the surface of each tenderloin and rub with sea salt.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute. Place tenderloins into the skillet and cook, rotating to brown all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer pork to a large plate.
  • Add remaining tablespoon oil to any drippings in the skillet. Cook apples and onions in the hot oil, stirring occasionally, until onions begin to turn translucent, about 5 minutes, adding a bit more oil if skillet gets dry.
  • Meanwhile, spread Dijon mustard evenly over browned tenderloins using a pastry brush. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons thyme leaves over pork. Sprinkle remaining thyme over apple mixture and add black pepper; stir gently to combine. Nestle tenderloins into the skillet with apple mixture.
  • Roast, uncovered, in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the tenderloins reads at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), about 15 minutes.
  • Remove skillet from the oven and place pork onto a plate. Cover with aluminum foil and let rest.
  • Meanwhile, pour chicken stock into a saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until reduced by 1/2, 8 to 10 minutes. Add to the skillet containing apple mixture.
  • Heat over medium-high heat until boiling, about 5 minutes; stir in butter until melted. Slice pork and serve over apple mixture.

APPLE-STUFFED PORK LOIN WITH CORIANDER, CUMIN AND CINNAMON



Apple-Stuffed Pork Loin With Coriander, Cumin and Cinnamon image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, roasts, main course

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons butter
2 medium apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
1 large onion, chopped
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 boneless pork loin roast, 2 to 3 pounds
1 cup apple juice for basting, or more if needed.

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450. Put 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When it starts to foam, add the apples, onion and all the spices, along with some salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples and onion are soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, wriggle a thin, sharp knife into each end of the meat, making a kind of pilot hole. Then use the handle of a long wooden spoon to force a hole all the way through the loin. Wriggle the spoon to make the hole as wide as you can. Stuff the apple and onion mixture into the roast from each end, all the way to the center. Sprinkle the roast with salt and pepper.
  • Roast on a rack in a large roasting pan for 15 minutes, then lower the heat to 325. Continue to roast, basting with apple juice about every 15 minutes or so. If the liquid accumulates on the bottom of the pan, use it to baste; if not, add more juice.
  • Start checking the roast after 45 minutes of total cooking time (large roasts can take up to 1.5 hours). When it's done, an instant-read thermometer will register 145. Remove the roast and set it on a platter.
  • Put the roasting pan on the stove over one or two burners on medium-high heat. If there is a lot of liquid, reduce it to about .75 cup, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan; if the pan is dry, add 1 cup of apple juice and follow the same process. When the sauce has reduced some, stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter if you like. Spoon the sauce over the roast, slice and serve.

Tips for Making Apple Cinnamon Pork Tenderloin:

* Use a sharp knife to score the pork tenderloin, which will help it cook evenly and absorb the marinade better. * Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the pork tenderloin, or it will steam instead of sear. * Cook the pork tenderloin over medium-high heat, so it gets a nice brown crust. * Don't overcook the pork tenderloin, or it will become dry and tough. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C). * Let the pork tenderloin rest for a few minutes before slicing, which will help the juices redistribute and make it more tender. * Serve the pork tenderloin with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Apple cinnamon pork tenderloin is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The pork tenderloin is juicy and tender, and the apple cinnamon sauce is sweet and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
