Steps:
- Butterfly the pork loin so that it can be stuffed. Cut kitchen twine into lengths for tying, lay out on work surface, then place roast on top.
- Chop onion and celery into the same size chunks. Saute in oil until softened. Stir in apples, also cut to size, then 1 tsp thyme, garlic, and a pinch of regular salt. Saute just 1-2 minutes more, so as not to burn the garlic.
- Remove from heat, let cool, and spoon this filling onto the roast, leaving 1 1/2 inches at each end without filling. This will help keep the filling from oozing out during baking. Fold pork over and tie securely.
- Sprinkle the outside of roast with coarse salt, ground pepper, and the rest of the thyme.
- Place on a rack in a roasting pan, pouring 1 cup chicken broth into the bottom.
- Roast at 325 F until meat reaches at least 145 internally. approximately 90 minutes. Let meat rest, loosely tented with foil, while you prepare gravy.
- Bring pan drippings plus cider and remaining 1 cup chicken broth to a simmer, scraping up any bits on the bottom of pan.
- Combine flour and water til smooth, then slowly add to the gravy, to thicken. use as little thickener as possible, to make a thin gravy.
ROAST LOIN OF PORK WITH BAKED APPLES AND CIDER GRAVY
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place the pork roast in a roasting pan with the ribs facing up, braced against each other. Add sage and thyme to olive oil. Brush the pork roasts with oil mixture and season with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Roast the pork loin for 2 1/2 hours, until the skin is crackled. (Put the apples in the oven along with the pork roast in the last half hour of cooking.)
- Remove the pork roast to a cutting board and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving. Pour out some of the excess fat from the roasting pan and put it on the stove over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the flour into the hot pan juices, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk to prevent lumps. Cook and stir the roux until its light brown. Add the cider and continue to stir to incorporate. Pour in the chicken broth; boil and stir for 5 minutes until the sauce is thick. Check for seasoning - add lemon juice if necessary. Serve the cider gravy with the pork roast and baked apples.
- To make the buttered apples: Core the apples with an apple corer, making a good size cavity to hold the stuffing. Douse the cut sides of the apples with some of the lemon juice to prevent them from browning while you make the stuffing. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, muffin crumbs, raisins, sage, garlic, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Spoon the stuffing into the cavities of the cored apples; stand them up, side by side, in a baking dish and sprinkle the tops with the reserved muffin crumbs. Pour the cider around the apples and bake for 30 to 35 minutes at 375 degrees F, until soft when pierced with a knife. Place the warm apples in the center of a round serving dish. Spoon the cider sauce around the apples and serve with the pork loin.

Tips:
- To ensure the pork loin is evenly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the pork loin by cutting into the thickest part of the meat. The pork should be cooked through, with no pink in the center.
- For a more flavorful stuffing, use a variety of herbs and spices. Some good options include sage, rosemary, thyme, garlic, and onion.
- To make the cider gravy, use a good quality apple cider. The cider should be fresh and flavorful.
- To thicken the cider gravy, you can add a cornstarch slurry. A cornstarch slurry is made by mixing equal parts cornstarch and water.
