Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (2 pound) boneless pork loin roast
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
3 cups gingersnap cookies
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup apple cider
½ cup chicken stock
1 cup apple slices
¼ cup dried currants
1 tablespoon butter
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Season pork roast with kosher salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper.
  • Process gingersnap cookies in a food processor to fine crumbs. Transfer crumbs to a plate or shallow bowl. Roll roast in crumbs to coat.
  • Heat olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Cook roast in hot oil until all sides are browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer skillet with roast to the center rack of the oven.
  • Roast pork in the preheated oven until it is slightly pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove roast to a serving platter and cover with foil.
  • Pour apple cider and chicken stock into the same skillet used to cook the pork roast and bring liquid to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add apple slices and currants; simmer until sauce reduces to 1/2 cup, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir butter into apple mixture until butter is completely melted and incorporated, about 1 minute more. Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Slice pork roast into 1/2-inch thick slices and pour apple currant sauce over the top.

I'm not a big fan of pork, but this recipe changed my mind. The pork was so tender and juicy, and the sauce was amazing. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth the effort. The pork is fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce is rich and flavorful. I would highly recommend this recipe for a special occasion meal.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pork loin. The sauce is really flavorful and the apples and currants add a nice touch.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The pork is always tender and juicy, and the sauce is to die for. I love serving this dish with roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes.

This recipe was a disaster! The pork was tough and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The pork was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try cooking the pork in a slower cooker next time.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll cut back on the amount of sugar in the sauce.

This recipe is a keeper! The pork loin was so tender and juicy, and the apple-cider pan reduction sauce was the perfect complement. I served it with roasted potatoes and green beans, and it was a hit with my family.
