Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Pat tenderloins dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown tenderloins on all sides, turning with tongs, about 5 minutes total. (If the handle of your skillet is not ovenproof, wrap handle in a triple layer of foil, shiny side out.) Transfer skillet to upper third of oven and roast until a thermometer inserted diagonally into center of meat registers 155°F, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a platter and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 15 minutes before slicing.
- While meat is standing, heat butter in same skillet (handle will be hot) over moderately high heat until foam subsides. Add apple wedges and sauté, turning occasionally, until tender and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer apples to a plate, then add chicken broth and cider to skillet. Bring to a boil over high heat and meanwhile whisk together arrowroot and water in a small bowl. Whisk arrowroot mixture into sauce and boil until thickened and reduced to about 1 cup, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar, measured salt and pepper, and any juices that have accumulated on platter.
- Cut meat into 1/2-inch-thick slices and serve topped with apples and sauce.

Pork tenderloin, apple cider, apple cider vinegar, and maple syrup make this dish both sweet and tangy. Double the sauce for dipping, if desired. I usually serve this with caramelized onions and apples as a side.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove silver skin and any surface fat from tenderloin; dry well with paper towels. Combine Cajun seasoning, celery salt, garlic granules, onion powder, and sugar in a small bowl; mix well. Sprinkle seasoning mixture over pork tenderloin.
- Heat oil into a large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add pork tenderloin and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and place into the oven.
- Roast in the preheated oven until pork is slightly pink in the center, about 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Check temperature of the pork tenderloin after 10 minutes as baking time depends on how long it has been seared.
- Meanwhile, pour apple cider and apple cider vinegar into the skillet and bring to a low boil. Scrape up any browned bits, lower heat, and simmer for 15 minutes. Add maple syrup and simmer for 5 more minutes.
- Move pork tenderloin to a clean cutting board, cover, and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Slice pork tenderloin into thin slices, place on a serving dish, and drizzle with apple cider au jus.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Salt and pepper the pork. Spray a baking pan with nonstick spray and place the pork in it. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 155 to 160 degrees. Remove from oven and place pork on a cutting board.
- Pour the apple cider in the baking pan and scrape any brown bits from the bottom. Put the pan on the stove over medium-high heat (or pour the pan drippings and cider into a skillet). Stirring occasionally, let the cider boil until it is reduced to 1/4 cup. It will be quite dark.
- Add cream & brown sugar and boil 5 minutes, or until very thick. Remove from heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter and beat vigorously as it melts. Add the second tablespoon and beat until it melts. To serve the pork, slice thinly and drizzle with sauce. Pass extra sauce in a gravy boat, if desired.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Season the pork with the salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the pork and brown well on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Remove the pork and add the onion wedges to the pot. Cook for a few minutes, letting them get a little color but being careful not to let them burn.
- Return the pork to the pot, placing it on the bed of onions. Add the cider and 1 cup (235 ml) water and bring to a simmer, then wedge the apple pieces under the meat among the onions. Toss in the thyme.
- Cover and transfer to the oven. Cook for 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender, shreds easily, and is a deep brown color; the apples will have caramelized.

Tips:
- To ensure the pork tenderloin cooks evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The recommended internal temperature for pork tenderloin is 145°F (63°C).
- Pork tenderloin is a lean cut of meat, so it's important to not overcook it. Overcooked pork tenderloin will be dry and tough.
- If you don't have apple cider on hand, you can substitute chicken broth or apple juice. However, apple cider will give the sauce a more浓郁flavor.
- For a sweeter sauce, add a tablespoon of brown sugar or honey to the pan with the apples and cider.
- Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
Conclusion:
