APPLE SMOKED PORK LOIN
In less than three hours time a luscious smoked pork loin can be prepared and served to your hungry guests. Instead of smoking for hours and hours until the pork is falling apart tender, the pork loin is smoked until it just reaches the stage of medium done...about 155 degrees Fahrenheit. A whole pork loin is one of two strips of meat that lie on each side of the porker's backbone. Many folks confuse the loin with the tenderloin. The difference is that the loin is on the outer side of the body cavity...the tenderloin is on the inside. The tenderloin is smaller and more tender than the loin. However, the loin is still pretty darned tender. And less expensive, too.

Steps:
- This recipe begins with a light dry rub seasoning, continues with some apple wood smoke flavor, and ends with a tasty apple-cinnamon sauce.
- Begin by removing all of the membrane (silver skin) and excess fat from the outside of the pork loin. Rub the loin with olive oil, then lightly season it with a bit of this dry rub mixture.
- Smoke the loin (using apple wood) at 225 degrees Fahrenheit for two to three hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees. Remove the smoked pork loin to a platter, covering lightly with foil and a kitchen towel. Let it rest for fifteen minutes before serving with the apple cinnamon sauce.
- Apple Cinnamon Sauce.
- Finely chop two large or three medium sweet apples (Fuji or Gala are great varieties for this) and place in a saucepan. Add one tablespoon sugar, one-half teaspoon each of cinnamon, paprika, salt and white pepper, and two tablespoons rice wine vinegar. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat, then lower to a simmer. Cook gently until the apples are tender.
- Slice the smoked pork loin and top with a spoonful of the sauce.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: A pork loin roast is the best cut for smoking, as it is lean and flavorful.
- Prepare the pork loin: Trim any excess fat from the pork loin and season it with your favorite herbs and spices. You can also brine the pork loin overnight to help it retain moisture and flavor.
- Set up your smoker: Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. If you are using a charcoal smoker, use indirect heat.
- Smoke the pork loin: Place the pork loin on the smoker grate and smoke it for about 2 hours, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork loin rest: Once the pork loin is done smoking, let it rest for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
