Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a small bowl combine brown sugar, salt, cumin and garlic powder.
- Rub spice mix over the pork tenderloin and set aside.
- In a large oven proof skillet (I use cast iron), heat 2 Tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat.
- Add pork tenderloin and sear for approximately 2 minutes per side (approximately 8 minutes total).
- Remove skillet from heat, add apples, onions, and bourbon to the skillet.
- Arrange tenderloin to sit on top of apple mixture.
- Place skillet back on range and cook over medium high heat for additional 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle with sage. Place entire skillet into the oven and roast at 400°F for 15-20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Remove from oven and allow pork to rest for 10 minutes.
- Slice tenderloin and serve with apple mixture.
PAN-ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLES AND BOURBON
Steps:
- Slice the pork tenderloin into 6 to 7 medallions that are 1/2-to 3/4-inch thick, depending on the shape of the tenderloin.
- Combine the salt, coriander, fennel and pepper in a small bowl and mix well.
- Spread the sliced pork medallions on a plate or baking sheet and season evenly on both sides with the salt mixture (you may not use it all).
- Spread the flour on plate. Dip each of the pork medallions in the flour and pat off any of the excess.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Cook the pork medallions in batches, adding more oil and butter as needed, browning them well on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Remove to a rack to rest. It's ok if the pork is not cooked all the way through at this stage, it will finish cooking in the sauce.
- When all the pork has been browned, pour off the fat in the pan into a small bowl. Add the remaining tablespoon butter and melt over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, thyme sprigs and some salt to the pan and cook until the shallots are softened and starting to get a little color, about 1 minute. Then add the apples and saute, stirring occasionally and adding more butter if necessary, until tender, 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Remove the pan from the heat, add the bourbon and stir to cook off some of the alcohol. Return the pan to the heat and cook, stirring, until reduced by half. Remove the thyme sprigs. Return the pork to the pan along with the chicken stock and season with salt. Simmer until well thickened and reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon the pork and apples onto plates and drizzle with the sauce.

Steps:
- Heat a large oven safe skillet (I prefer cast iron), over MED LOW heat. Add bacon pieces and cook until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate.
- To the same skillet, add onion, apple, garlic, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, for 3-5 minutes, until softened.
- Stir in sage, rosemary and thyme, and remove mixture to the plate with the bacon.
- Wipe out skillet, but no need to wash. Set aside for now.
- Add tenderloin to a cutting board. Hold your knife parallel to the board and carefully slice the pork from right to left (if you're a righty), until you're about 1/2 an inch away from the opposite side.
- Open the tenderloin up like a book, then cover with plastic wrap or wax paper and pound with the flat side of a meat mallet until the whole tenderloin is about 1/2 an inch thick.
- Remove plastic wrap, and spread stuffing mixture evenly over the surface of the meat, leaving a small border all the way around.
- Start with a long edge, and roll the meat up into a tight log shape, pushing any stuffing back in that falls out of the ends.
- Secure the ends with several toothpicks, keeping them all pointing the same way. Take note of how many you used, so you can make sure you take that same amount back out at the end of cooking!
- Combine rub ingredients in a small bowl, then rub evenly over the entire surface of the tenderloin, being careful not to poke yourself on the toothpicks.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Add 2 Tbsp to cast iron skillet from earlier, and heat over MED HIGH heat. Once oil is hot, add tenderloin, toothpick side down, and sear for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until an instant read thermometer reads 140-145°F.
- Transfer pork to a cutting board and let rest for about 10 minutes.
- While meat is resting, transfer skillet back to the stovetop and heat over MED/MED HIGH heat. There should be drippings in the skillet from cooking the pork, drain off some if needed, so that you have about 1/4 - 1/3 cup left... those add great flavor.
- Add bourbon and use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan, loosening any browned bits.
- Pour in chicken stock, apple cider, mustard, salt, pepper, and onion powder, and bring to a low boil.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine cold water and cornstarch and whisk together until smooth.
- Pour cornstarch mixture into the boiling liquid, whisking as you add it.
- Reduce heat to MED LOW and simmer, stirring often, until gravy has thickened to your liking.
- Remove from heat and add cold butter, whisking as it melts into the gravy.
- Slice tenderloin into 1/2-3/4" rings, and drizzle gravy over the slices.
- Serve with additional gravy on the side.

ROAST LOIN OF PORK WITH BAKED APPLES AND CIDER GRAVY
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place the pork roast in a roasting pan with the ribs facing up, braced against each other. Add sage and thyme to olive oil. Brush the pork roasts with oil mixture and season with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Roast the pork loin for 2 1/2 hours, until the skin is crackled. (Put the apples in the oven along with the pork roast in the last half hour of cooking.)
- Remove the pork roast to a cutting board and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving. Pour out some of the excess fat from the roasting pan and put it on the stove over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the flour into the hot pan juices, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk to prevent lumps. Cook and stir the roux until its light brown. Add the cider and continue to stir to incorporate. Pour in the chicken broth; boil and stir for 5 minutes until the sauce is thick. Check for seasoning - add lemon juice if necessary. Serve the cider gravy with the pork roast and baked apples.
- To make the buttered apples: Core the apples with an apple corer, making a good size cavity to hold the stuffing. Douse the cut sides of the apples with some of the lemon juice to prevent them from browning while you make the stuffing. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, muffin crumbs, raisins, sage, garlic, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Spoon the stuffing into the cavities of the cored apples; stand them up, side by side, in a baking dish and sprinkle the tops with the reserved muffin crumbs. Pour the cider around the apples and bake for 30 to 35 minutes at 375 degrees F, until soft when pierced with a knife. Place the warm apples in the center of a round serving dish. Spoon the cider sauce around the apples and serve with the pork loin.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, and stir in the black pepper, cayenne pepper, thyme, oregano, dry mustard powder, and garlic. Cook and stir until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- With a sharp knife, make several small slits in the pork roast. Place the roast into a roasting pan, and spread the spice mixture all over the roast and in the incisions. Surround the roast with celery, carrots, and onion, and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
- Roast in the preheated oven until the pork roast is browned and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the roast reads at least 150 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 2 hours. About 15 minutes before the end of cooking, turn the oven temperature up to 425 to help brown the roast.
- Remove pork roast from oven, and allow to stand for about 10 minutes before slicing. Check temperature again; roast temperature should be at least 160 degrees F (75 degrees C) before serving.
- While roast is resting, place the roasting pan containing vegetables and pan drippings over a stove burner set to medium heat. Whisk in the flour, and simmer the drippings and flour for about 3 minutes to remove raw taste from flour. Whisk in the pork stock, a little at a time, until the gravy is thickened. Strain the gravy, and serve with the roast.

Steps:
- Stir together apple juice, bourbon, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Remove the giblets and neck from the turkey, and rinse the turkey with cold water. Drain the cavity and pat dry. Place the turkey in a large roasting pan. Dip the cheesecloth into the apple juice mixture. Wring dry. Cover the turkey with the cheesecloth. Pour the apple juice mixture over the cheesecloth, coating completely. Cover and chill for 12 to 24 hours, basting occasionally with the marrinade.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Remove the turkey from the pan, discarding cheesecloth and reserving 3 cups of the marinade. Sprinkle the cavity with your desired amount of salt; rub into the cavity. Sprinkle your desired amount of salt and pepper on the skin. Rub it into the skin. Tie the legs together with string; tuck the wingtips underneath.
- Arrange the celery, carrots, apples, and onion in a single layer on a roasting pan. Place the turkey, breast side up on the celery mixture. Pour the reserved marinade over the turkey in the pan.
- Bake at 325 degrees for 3 hours and 15 minutes to 4 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of the thigh reads 165 degrees, basting every 30 minutes with the pan juices and shielding with aluminum foil after 2 hours 30 minutes to prevent excessive browning, if necessary. Remove from the oven, and let stand for 30 minutes.
- Transfer the turkey to a serving platter. Reserve 2 1/2 cups pan drippings. Pour the drippings through a fine wire mesh stainer into a large measuring cup, discarding solids.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, whisking constantly, 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth. Gradually add the drippings, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer, stirring the mixture occasionally, 5 minutes or until the gravy thickens. Add up to 1/2 cup chicken broth to achieve the desired consistency.

Steps:
- Put the pork on a board and cut off the string if your pork has been rolled and tied. Slide a large sharp knife under the pork rind and fat, then lift it off completely. Set it to one side. Cut a hole about 4cm wide through the thickest part of the loin, or eye, of the pork. Preheat the oven to 190C/Fan 170C/Gas 5.
- Finely chop the sage and parsley leaves and put them in a bowl. Add the lemon zest, garlic, salt, and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Press some of this herby mix into the hole in the pork and then spread the rest over the surface of the pork until well covered.
- Cover the meat with the pork rind - this will protect the pork and keep it moist as it cooks. Tie the joint at 2cm intervals with kitchen string to keep it together and place in a small sturdy roasting tin. Roast for 30 minutes per 500g, plus 20 minutes. A 1.25kg joint should take 1 hour 35 minutes, but check it is cooked throughout.
- When the pork is ready, move it to a warmed board ready to carve and cover it with foil and a couple of dry tea towels to keep it warm. Holding the roasting tin carefully with an oven cloth, tilt all the juices to one corner and skim off as much of that naughty fat as possible with a spoon and throw it out.
- To make the gravy, put the roasting tin on the hob over a medium head and add the apple juice and 50ml of the cold water. Stir well to lift the juices and sediment from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for a couple of minutes. Carefully strain the gravy through a sieve into a small saucepan and bring it back to a simmer. Mix the cornflour and the remaining cold water to make a thin paste. Stir this into the gravy and cook for 1-2 minutes more until thickened, stirring occasionally. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
- Remove the string from the pork and lift off the crackling and cut it up separately. Carve the pork and serve it without the crackling for anyone watching their weight! Pour the gravy into a jug to serve with the pork.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Apples: For the best flavor, use a combination of sweet and tart apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
- Brown the Pork Loin Roast: Browning the pork loin roast before braising it adds depth of flavor and color.
- Use Good Quality Bourbon: The bourbon adds a subtle smoky flavor to the gravy. Choose a bourbon that you would enjoy drinking.
- Simmer the Gravy: Simmering the gravy for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop.
- Season to Taste: Taste the gravy and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
Conclusion:
Apple bourbon gravy with pork loin roast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The combination of sweet apples, savory pork, and smoky bourbon creates a rich and flavorful gravy that is sure to please everyone at the table.
