Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large ovenproof skillet heat the vegetable oil over high heat. Season the pork loin all over generously with salt and pepper. Sear the meat until golden brown on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the meat to a plate and set it aside.
- Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, herb sprigs, and 2 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet. Stir until the vegetables are browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in the sliced apples, then push the mixture to the sides and set the pork loin in the middle of the skillet along with any collected juices on the plate. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the loin until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 140 to 150 degrees F, about 30 to 35 minutes. (See Cook's Note.)
- Transfer the pork a cutting board and cover it loosely with foil while you make the sauce. Arrange the apples and vegetables on a serving platter and set aside. Remove and discard the herb sprigs. Return the skillet to a high heat and add the vinegar scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to loosen up any browned bits. Reduce by half then add the cider and reduce by about half again. Pull the skillet from the heat and whisk in the mustard, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of cold butter. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Remove the strings from the roast and slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces and arrange over the apple mixture. Drizzle some sauce over meat and serve the rest on the side.
- Cook's Note: Pork cooked this way will be slightly pink. If desired, cook the pork to 160 degrees F, but be aware that this lean cut will not be as moist at the higher temperature.

RED CURRY PORK WITH APPLE
This again is quite a quick dish to throw together, another one that can be on the table in about 35-45 Min's with a yummy end result. You can serve this dish over rice, as My hubby and I are watching our carb intake at the moment I served ours over bean sprouts. The flavours in this dish all compliment each other really well and the addition of the apple just gives it that something different. I just used a prepared red curry paste with this, not only for time purposes, but also for ease of making, feel free to use homemade, I would have, if I had had some already made up in the fridge.

Steps:

- Heat remaining oil in same cleaned pan, cook onion, paste, garlic and ginger, stirring until onion softens.
- Add coconut milk, cream, water and stock, bring to the boil, reduce heat, simmer, uncovered 5 Min's.
- Return pork to pan, add lime juice and fish sauce, stir to combine, add apples, simmer, covered, about 10 Min's, until apples soften and pork is cooked through.
- About 5 Min's before the end add bok choy.
- Remove from heat and stir in basil.
- Serve over rice or bean sprouts for lower carb version.

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:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork loin or tenderloin are good choices for this recipe, as they are relatively lean and cook quickly.
- Don't overcook the pork: Pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
- Use a good quality apple: A crisp, tart apple, such as a Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, will hold its shape better when cooked.
- Don't skimp on the spices: The cinnamon and nutmeg add a warm, festive flavor to the dish.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad are all good options.
Conclusion:
This pork with apple and cinnamon rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
