PERFECT ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLES
The trick to flavorful and moist pork tenderloin is to sear the pork before roasting. In our recipe, the pork is seared and then is baked on top a bed of apples and onions. Most often, you will find that pork tenderloins are sold in packages with two tenderloins. One tenderloin should generously serve 2 people and most likely serve 3. One note, "pork tenderloins" and "pork loin" are two different cuts of meat. Pork tenderloins are much thinner and take less time to cook.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Trim each tenderloin of any silver skin (this can be tough when cooked). To do this, use a small sharp knife and slide the blade under and outward to remove it.
- Pat pork dry with paper towels and then rub with one tablespoon of the oil and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a heavy-bottomed oven-safe skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot and shimmers, add the pork tenderloins and cook, occasionally turning, until evenly browned all over; about 12 minutes. Transfer to a large plate or cutting board. (The pork will not be cooked through).
- Keep the pan used to sear the pork on the stove over medium heat. Check the pan, if it looks dry, add two to three teaspoons of additional oil. (If there is fat left in the pan from cooking the pork, there is no need to add extra oil).
- Add the apples and onions then cook, occasionally stirring, until lightly browned around edges, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon of thyme.
- Use a pastry brush (or use your fingers) to rub the seared pork all over with the mustard, 2 teaspoons of thyme, and the black pepper. Place the seared pork tenderloins on top of the apples and onions, and then slide into the oven.
- Roast 10 to 15 minutes or until an internal thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers between 145 and 150 degrees F. Transfer the pork to a large plate and cover with aluminum foil. Let rest about 10 minutes.
- While the pork rests, place the pan with apples and onions back onto the stove and turn heat to medium. Add chicken stock and use a wooden spoon to scrape the pan, lifting any brown bits from the bottom. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Add butter and stir until melted.
- To serve, slice pork into 1-inch slices then serve on a bed of the apples and onions with pan sauce drizzled on top.

PORK TENDERLOIN WITH ROASTED APPLES AND ONIONS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Season pork with salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and sear until all sides are brown, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes. Transfer pork to plate. Cool slightly. Spread mustard over top and sides of pork; press fennel seeds into mustard. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. Add onion slices and apples; sauté over medium heat until golden, about 5 minutes. Spread evenly in skillet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place pork atop apple-onion mixture.
- Transfer skillet to oven and roast until apple-onion mixture is soft and brown and meat thermometer inserted into center of pork registers 150°F, about 15 minutes. Transfer pork to platter and tent with foil. Let stand 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pour white wine over apple-onion mixture in skillet. Stir mixture over high heat until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Cut pork on diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Spoon apple-onion mixture onto plates. Top with pork and serve.
Tips:
- For a crispy skin on the pork tenderloin, pat it dry with paper towels before roasting.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is cooked to your desired doneness. The internal temperature should reach 145°F for medium-rare, 155°F for medium, and 165°F for well-done.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the pork by inserting a paring knife into the center. The juices should run clear, with no pink remaining.
- For the escalloped apples, use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady apples are all good choices.
- Be sure to slice the apples thinly so that they cook evenly.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can substitute milk or half-and-half.
- For a richer flavor, use grated Parmesan cheese instead of cheddar cheese.
- Serve the roasted pork tenderloin with the escalloped apples and your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad are all good options.
Conclusion:
Roasted pork tenderloin with escalloped apples is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner. The pork tenderloin is juicy and tender, while the escalloped apples are sweet and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
