Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Homemade Applesauce
New! Printable Recipes, here.
Serves 4-6
2 pork tenderloins (about 2.5 pounds)
2 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
2 teaspoons of worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon of dijon
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
2 teaspoons of salt
1 teaspoon of pepper
.....
8 apples (any kind)
2 tablepoons of butter
1/2 cup of orange juice
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
Begin by marinading the pork. Mix together garlic, soy, worcestershire, dijon, brown sugar, salt and pepper in a plastic bag or shallow dish. Marinade pork in mixture for at least 30 minutes.
Next, make the applesauce - it bakes for 1 hour, so be sure to make it ahead of time.
Peel and core the apples - keeping some of the red peel. I add some of the red peel to the cooking apples to give it great color. Cut the apples into 1-inch chunks. In a saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar for 2 minutes, then add apples, orange juice, cinnamon and a piece of the red peel. Cook on the stovetop for 10 minutes on low, then cover and put in a 325 oven for 1 hour. If your saucepan is not oven safe, transfer to a covered casserole dish.
When it is finished cooking in the oven, breakup of the apples by stirring with a whisk. Serve warm. You can make this a couple of days in advance and just reheat as needed.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
For the pork, heat a medium skillet, then add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sear the pork on each side for 3 minutes, until nice color is achieved. Put the entire skillet in the oven (uncovered) and cook for another 20-25 minutes, until the pork reaches 150 degrees on a meat thermometer. Again, if your skillet is not ovenproof, then transfer it to a baking sheet.
Remove it from the oven, cover with lid (or foil) and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve with warm applesauce.
