This recipe looked great when Tyler Florence made it on his program - great enough that I immediately printed the recipe for future use. This past weekend was that "future use!" I found the recipe quite easy with little muss and fuss and the outcome was fantastic. My roasts were tender, juicy and very tasty and had the guests at my table thinking I were something quite talented! The baked apples were a unique addition that I liked as they were easily made ahead, covered with saran and just popped into the oven at the appropriate time. Thanks so much - this one is a keeper!!




Fantastic

The pork was so tender juicy and flavorful. The apples were wonderful and the gravy set off the flavors perfectly. I made this last night and my husband says it was all he though about all morning. A keeper!!!




Soooo good!

This is the 1st Tyler recipe I made and it will not be the last! I made this for Christmas Eve dinner, and it was fantastic. I will say that it makes a lot, I would have been fine with one roast for 6 people, instead of 2. The gravy is incredible. I used Hornsby's hard cider. This was so good, that I couldnt believe I made this! Thanks so much Tyler, I am hooked!




Bad Gala Apples

The pork loin was great but the gala apples never tasted good. I cooked them as the recipe said but they did not get done so I continued to cook them 15 min and raise the temp to 400...still not done. After dinner I put them back in the oven for 2 hours... sill hard and tasted bad. I might try it again but I will use golden delious apples and increase the amount of cider.




Excelent!

Saw this on TV and thought it looked good. So........ I was making dinner for 5 men from Canada and decided to try this out! First time mind you.. They raved about it.. Needed the apple directions to take with them! I am a fan!

My family loved the pork roast and corn bread apples. I was able to find Strongbow cider at a specialty store and just in time, because we were sent to Glasgow for a few months this spring and it's a local brew. I'm making it again this week for friends. Thanks, Tyler!

This turned out to be a terrific menu. Easy to put together, needs minimum kitchen attention after guests arrive. The cabbage accompanyment was also a real surprise. Wonderful flavor and texture. The guests all asked for seconds! I recommend it highly.

Outstanding!! I had sage and thyme from Thanksgiving so I thought why not use it up. The gravy was so flavorful. The meat had a hint of sage etc. which left us wanting more. The cabbage was an excellant side. Thank you

I faithfully followed thE recipe the first twO times, and my dinner guests and I were very pleased----I received a number of compliments. The third time, I prepared only the roast (with other side dishes) and omited the cider from the gravy---the result was just as impressive and a bit more Southern. Thanks Tyler.

User: Louann from Mount Prospect, IL    User Rating:
The pork was excellent - juicy, tender, easy to prepare. I used apple cider as opposed to hard cider and I found the gravy to be a little too sweet. I did not, however, care for the apples. I couldn't find corn muffins, so I subbed orange cranberry ones and it didn't go with the garlic. Maybe I'll try the corn next time. But the pork is definitely a keeper!

Baked Apples and Cider Gravy

User: Gina from Johnston, RI    User Rating:
The stuffing for the apples was not very tasty. Dont think the garlic really fit with the receipe. Not enough stuffing for the apples to even out the dish. Looks pretty though, and smells good.




Simple recipe - impressive results

User: Kristen from Nashua, NH    User Rating:
I had never cooked any roasts with bones before so I was anxious to try this reicpe for a dinner party. The taste was really good - the gravy could have used a bit more salt (perhaps my mis-spicing) but overall was great. I would highly recommend, if you are a novice to boned roasts, to learn how to properly cut the roast. I ended up having to cut a lot of the bones off before serving (then again, I'm not sure the butcher prepared it properly). To make it easier, I sliced the apples in half and cored out a spot in the middle. ALso used pumpkin bread instead of corn bread, as I was already serving pumpkin bread stuffing. Will definitely make again!

Great recipe. The best part are the apples, with cornbread stuff made with a surprising combination of sage, garlic, and brown sugar. The flavors somehow all work and are outrageously good.

I made this recipe using thick porkchops, but followed the rest of the pork recipe to the 't'. The stuffing for the apples was absolutley delicious! I used currants in place of the sultanas (golden raisins) and it was SO good! My husband (who also "does not like sweet things"), as well as our guests, just raved over it! I served it with Emeril's green beans with roasted fennel. Delicious! I will definitely be making this one again!

This was just awesome! Everything I make of Tyler's is great and this is no exception. The meat was very tender and had a great flavor. We also watched this episode on Tyler's Ultimate and so we put mushrooms and apple cider in with the pork and those made the perfect extra touch.

This recipe is amazing! It's incredibly easy to make and also very impressive for company! My family loved the flavorful cider gravy and the stuffed apples! This has become a family favorite! I even tried it with just pork chops instead of the whole loin and cut the cooking time to just 45 minutes!
