Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large ovenproof skillet heat the vegetable oil over high heat. Season the pork loin all over generously with salt and pepper. Sear the meat until golden brown on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the meat to a plate and set it aside.
- Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, herb sprigs, and 2 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet. Stir until the vegetables are browned, about 8 minutes. Stir in the sliced apples, then push the mixture to the sides and set the pork loin in the middle of the skillet along with any collected juices on the plate. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the loin until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers 140 to 150 degrees F, about 30 to 35 minutes. (See Cook's Note.)
- Transfer the pork a cutting board and cover it loosely with foil while you make the sauce. Arrange the apples and vegetables on a serving platter and set aside. Remove and discard the herb sprigs. Return the skillet to a high heat and add the vinegar scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon to loosen up any browned bits. Reduce by half then add the cider and reduce by about half again. Pull the skillet from the heat and whisk in the mustard, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of cold butter. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Remove the strings from the roast and slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces and arrange over the apple mixture. Drizzle some sauce over meat and serve the rest on the side.
- Cook's Note: Pork cooked this way will be slightly pink. If desired, cook the pork to 160 degrees F, but be aware that this lean cut will not be as moist at the higher temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees; set the oven rack as close to the top of the oven as possible, taking into account the thickness of the pork.
- Drain the applesauce in a fine sieve to remove excess liquid. Line a roasting pan with a double layer of foil, and brush with a little oil.
- Sprinkle the roast with salt and pepper, then spread the applesauce evenly over it. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper, and roast, checking every 15 minutes or so to make sure the applesauce doesn't burn. It's fine if it darkens and browns, even turning dark brown, as long as the top doesn't blacken.
- After 45 minutes, begin checking the pork with an instant-read thermometer. When the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees, remove the meat from the oven. Let it rest 5 minutes, then carve. Serve the sliced meat with any accumulated juices.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a food processor, combine the chopped herbs with the garlic, crushed red pepper, a generous pinch of salt, and enough olive oil to make a paste. Brush the paste on the outside of the pork rib roast.
- Toss the onions with olive oil and salt and place in the bottom of a roasting pan. Add the thyme, bay leaves, and two-thirds of the cider. Place the pork on top of the onions and place in the oven. Roast the pork until it has developed a lovely brown crust, 20 to 25 minutes. Check on the pork and stir the onions and cider if they are starting to burn. Add more cider when the level starts to go down.
- Lower the oven to 375 degrees F and roast until an instant-read thermometer reads 150 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes. If the crust on the pork starts to get too dark, cover it with foil. Remove 1 1/2 cups of the cider from the bottom of the roasting pan and reserve for the applesauce.
- Let the pork rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. When ready to carve, remove the pork from the bone and cut the loin into thin slices. Serve with the onions braised in cider and Chunky Applesauce.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan large enough to accommodate the apples. Add the apples and saute over medium-low heat until the apples start to soften. Add the reserved cider, apple cider, and cinnamon and cook over medium-low heat until most of the cider has evaporated and the apples are cooked and very soft.
- Add the heavy cream and walnuts and cook until the cream has reduced by half. The end result should be a very chunky, sweet/savory applesauce.

ROAST PORK WITH APPLESAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 500°F; set the oven rack as close to the top of the oven as is practical (take the thickness of the roast into account). Meanwhile, put the applesauce in a fine strainer over a bowl or in the sink to allow excess liquid to drain. Line a roasting pan with a double thickness of aluminum foil (to avoid tough cleanup) and brush the foil with a little oil.
- When the oven is hot, sprinkle the roast with salt and pepper, then spread an even layer of the applesauce all over it, using up all the applesauce. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper and roast, checking every 15 minutes or so to make sure the applesauce doesn't burn. It's fine if it darkens and browns, or even turns dark brown, as long as the top doesn't blacken.
- Begin checking the pork with an instant-read thermometer after 45 minutes. When the internal temperature reaches 155°F, remove the meat from the oven. Let it rest for 5 minutes before carving. Serve the sliced meat with any accumulated juices.
- Variation
- Roast Pork with Jam or Marmalade: This is the original version, which some will prefer: Substitute 1 cup apricot jam or orange marmalade for the applesauce; warm it over low heat, stirring in 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice to thin it slightly. Proceed as directed
Tips:
- Choose a pork loin roast that is at least 3 pounds. This will ensure that you have enough meat to feed your guests.
- Use a sharp knife to score the pork roast. This will help the applesauce penetrate the meat and create a more flavorful dish.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of applesauce. You can use store-bought applesauce or make your own. If you're making your own, you can use any type of apples you like.
- Be sure to cook the pork roast until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the meat is cooked through but still juicy.
- Let the pork roast rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat and make it even more tender.
Conclusion:
Pork loin roast with applesauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The pork is tender and juicy, and the applesauce adds a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish can be served with a variety of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad. Whether you're looking for a weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, pork loin roast with applesauce is a great option.
