Roast Pork Loin with Apples image

Feed a crowd with Food Network Kitchen's Roast Pork Loin with Apples recipe. The flavor comes from apple cider, apple cider vinegar and fresh apples.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (2-pound) boneless center cut pork loin, trimmed and tied
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium onion, thickly sliced
2 carrots, thickly sliced
2 stalks celery, thickly, sliced
3 cloves garlic, smashed
3 sprigs fresh thyme
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
2 apples, such as Cortland or Rome peeled, cored and cut into 8 slices
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 cup apple cider
2 tablespoons whole grain mustard

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots and apples: For the best flavor and texture, select carrots that are firm and crisp, with no blemishes. Granny Smith apples are a good choice for this recipe, as they hold their shape well when cooked.
  • Cut the carrots and apples evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too thick, they will take longer to cook and may not be as tender.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the carrots and apples will not cook evenly. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Stir the carrots and apples frequently: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Add the honey and cinnamon towards the end of cooking: This will help to preserve the flavor of the honey and cinnamon.
  • Serve the carrots and apples warm: They can be served as a side dish or as a snack.

Conclusion:

This recipe for sliced carrots and apples is a simple and delicious way to enjoy these healthy vegetables. The carrots and apples are cooked in butter and honey, and seasoned with cinnamon. The result is a dish that is both sweet and savory, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. This recipe is also a good way to get children to eat their vegetables.
