- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Mix the nutmeg, 1 teaspoon garlic and the sage in a bowl. Rub over the pork and season with salt and pepper.
- Toss the squash, apples, onion, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic, the honey mustard, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Spread out on a long sheet of foil.

Add 2 tablespoons water and scrape up any browned bits from the pan, then transfer the skillet to the lower oven rack and roast until a thermometer registers 150, about 15 minutes. Transfer the meat to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes.
- Return the skillet to medium heat. Add 1/2 cup water, scrape up any browned bits and simmer about 2 minutes. Slice the pork and drizzle with the pan juices. Serve with the squash and apples.

Tips:
- Choose a tender cut of pork: Tenderloin is a great option because it is lean and cooks quickly.
- Marinate the pork: Marinating the pork helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper, or you can get creative and use a more complex marinade.
- Roast the pork at a high temperature: This will help to create a flavorful crust on the outside of the pork while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork is cooked to perfection: The internal temperature of the pork should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork rest before slicing: This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more tender and flavorful pork.
- Serve the pork with your favorite sides: Roasted acorn squash, mashed potatoes, and green beans are all great options.
Conclusion:
This roasted pork tenderloin with acorn squash is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The pork is tender and juicy, and the acorn squash is roasted to perfection. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
