Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Combine the stuffing mix and water in a mixing bowl; set aside. Grease a roasting pan with cooking spray.
- Trim the fat and connective tissue from the pork loin. Cut from one side through the middle horizontally to within 1/2-inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book. Place the pork loin between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the pork with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/2-inch.
- Stir the apple, cranberries, pecans, and onion into the stuffing mix. Season the pork loin with salt and pepper to taste, then spread the stuffing mix onto the cut side of the loin. Roll the pork into a firm cylinder, and secure with cooking twine. Place into the prepared roasting pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Cover the meat with two layers of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes. Remove kitchen twine before slicing and serving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Melt 1/2 tablespoon butter in heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Sear pork on all sides, about 2 minutes. Place skillet with pork in oven. Roast pork until thermometer inserted into center registers 155°F, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in heavy medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and rosemary; sauté until onion softens, about 3 minutes. Add broth, cranberry sauce and vinegar and whisk until cranberry sauce melts, about 2 minutes.
- Transfer pork to work surface. Scrape any juices from large skillet into cranberry mixture. Boil until sauce has reduced enough to coat spoon thickly, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Slice pork and serve with sauce.
Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries for the stuffing. Frozen cranberries can be used, but they will not have the same tartness and flavor as fresh cranberries.
- If you don't have time to make the stuffing ahead of time, you can use store-bought stuffing mix.
- Be sure to truss the pork tenderloin before roasting it. This will help it keep its shape and cook evenly.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the internal temperature of the pork tenderloin by inserting a knife into the thickest part of the meat. The meat is done when the juices run clear.
- Let the pork tenderloin rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Pork tenderloin with cranberry stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion dinner. The pork tenderloin is juicy and flavorful, and the cranberry stuffing is tart and tangy. This dish is sure to impress your guests!
