Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Rub garlic pepper seasoning into pork loin. Heat a small amount of oil in a pan and sear all sides of meat. Roast covered in oven until fork tender, at least 35 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Combine the stuffing mix and water in a mixing bowl; set aside. Grease a roasting pan with cooking spray.
- Trim the fat and connective tissue from the pork loin. Cut from one side through the middle horizontally to within 1/2-inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book. Place the pork loin between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the pork with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2-inch.
- Stir the apple, cranberries, pecans, and onion into the stuffing mix. Season the pork loin with salt and pepper to taste, then spread the stuffing mix onto the cut side of the loin. Roll the pork into a firm cylinder, and secure with cooking twine. Place into the prepared roasting pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Cover the meat with two layers of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes. Remove kitchen twine before slicing and serving.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, gather all of your ingredients and equipment. This will help you to stay organized and avoid any surprises.
- Choose a good quality pork loin: The quality of your pork loin will greatly affect the final dish. Look for a loin that is firm to the touch and has a good amount of marbling.
- Don't overcook the pork loin: Pork loin is a relatively lean cut of meat, so it is important to not overcook it. Overcooked pork loin will be dry and tough.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork loin is cooked to the proper temperature: The internal temperature of the pork loin should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius) for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit (68 degrees Celsius) for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) for well-done.
- Let the pork loin rest before slicing it: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- Serve the pork loin with your favorite sides: Some popular sides for pork loin include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and green beans.
