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.

QUICK SAVORY CRANBERRY GLAZED PORK LOIN ROAST
This simple, 1-hour roast is our favorite Christmas dish and voted most likely to be served if the President were to drop in for dinner- LOL! I love serving this entree because it causes me NO stress and everyone raves over it. While the pork is roasting, make another batch of the cranberry glaze to serve in a gravy boat alongside the sliced pork roast. For food safety, the new batch should not be prepared in same pan as the first if you have been basting directly out of the saucepan. If you basted out of another dish, you can use the same pan.

Tips:
- For the best results, use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork tenderloin reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the pork is cooked by making a small incision in the center. If the juices run clear, the pork is cooked.
- To make sure the stuffing is cooked through, spoon some of it out onto a plate and microwave it for 30 seconds. It should be hot all the way through.
- If you're using fresh cranberries, be sure to rinse them well before using.
- If you don't have any fresh cranberries, you can use frozen or dried cranberries instead.
- To make the cranberry sauce, you can either use a blender or a food processor. If you're using a blender, be sure to strain the sauce to remove any seeds or skins.
- Serve the pork tenderloin with the cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, and green beans.
Conclusion:
Pork tenderloin with cranberry stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a special occasion. The pork is tender and juicy, and the stuffing is flavorful and festive. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
