BACON-WRAPPED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLE STUFFING
This small roast gets the star treatment with an apple and onion stuffing, and it's rolled up in bacon, for even more flavor. Perfect for a weeknight dinner because it bakes in about 20 minutes with a short resting time. We liked this with steamed broccoli and home fries.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Stir together mustard and maple syrup in a small bowl.
- Pat pork tenderloin dry. Without cutting all the way through, slice the tenderloin lengthwise and open like a book. Spread mustard mixture evenly over the inside and outside of the tenderloin, then season with salt and pepper.
- Place apple slices on one side of the tenderloin. Spread onions on top of the apples and sprinkle with thyme. Close the tenderloin, tucking apples and onions inside.
- Line up bacon slices in a rectangle shape on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil, with each piece overlapping slightly. Place the stuffed tenderloin across the top ends of the bacon. Use the foil to lift the tenderloin and start to roll it like a jellyroll until it's completely wrapped with bacon.
- Secure both ends of the tenderloin and each bacon slice with a wooden toothpick. Use the foil to lift the tenderloin into a 9x13-inch baking pan. Spread out the foil to protect the pan from drippings.
- Cook in the preheated oven until slightly pink in the center, about 20 minutes, turning halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).
- Remove from the oven and let rest until internal temperature has risen to 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 5 to 10 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork tenderloin: Look for a tenderloin that is firm and evenly colored, with no signs of bruising or damage.
- Prepare the pork tenderloin: Remove any silver skin or excess fat from the pork tenderloin. Then, use a sharp knife to make a deep slit lengthwise down the center of the tenderloin, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff the pork tenderloin: In a medium bowl, combine the apples, walnuts, bread crumbs, parsley, sage, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stuff the pork tenderloin with the apple mixture, pressing it in firmly.
- Secure the pork tenderloin: Tie the pork tenderloin closed with kitchen twine at 1-inch intervals. This will help to keep the stuffing in place during cooking.
- Sear the pork tenderloin: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Sear the pork tenderloin for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned.
- Roast the pork tenderloin: Transfer the pork tenderloin to a baking dish. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Make the red currant sauce: While the pork tenderloin is roasting, make the red currant sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the red currants, sugar, vinegar, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the pork tenderloin: Remove the pork tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve the pork tenderloin with the red currant sauce.
