Time 1h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 17

cooking spray
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 (1 1/2 pound) pork tenderloins
4 apples, peeled and cut into 8 pieces each
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
4 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
1 ½ cups apple cider
1 lime, juiced
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
½ teaspoon ground ginger
⅛ teaspoon chipotle chile powder
⅛ teaspoon garam masala
salt and ground black pepper to taste
aluminum foil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Mix together 1 tablespoon ginger, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon chili powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl to create a rub. Rub combined seasonings on all sides of the pork tenderloins, using the entire amount.
  • Place apples and sweet potatoes in the bottom of the prepared pan; dot with butter.
  • Mix together apple cider, lime juice, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1/8 teaspoon chili powder, garam masala, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Pour over apples and sweet potatoes and place tenderloins on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Ladle cooking liquid over apples and sweet potatoes, turn tenderloins over, and continue baking until pork is slightly pink at the center, about 20 minutes longer. A meat thermometer placed in the center of the thickest tenderloin should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
