Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • Pinch ground cinnamon
  • 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and 1-inch diced
  • 1 (5-pound) center cut, bone-out pork loin, butterflied
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup apple cider

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon and diced apples and toss to coat. Saute 3 minutes, without stirring to let the apples caramelize on 1 side. Toss and saute another 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely.

Butterfly the tenderloin by cutting the beef lengthwise down the center to within 1/2-inch of the other side. Flatten with a meat mallet.

When the caramel apples have cooled spread the mixture down the center flap of pork. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon the apple mixture down the center of the pork roast. Bring the 2 sides of the tenderloin up around filling to meet. Use butcher string and tie around the roll at 1-inch intervals.

Season the stuffed and tied pork loin with salt and pepper. Sear the pork loin in vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, turning to get all the sides. Pour the apple cider over the pork. Roast uncovered for about 1 hour and 20 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the roast registers155 degrees F.

Remove from the oven and let rest, tented with foil, for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with pan juices.

    This was very good, I put half strips of applewood smoked bacon on top of the loin. Next time I shall put full strips on it because it complimented it very nicely and I think I will roll cut the loin instead of just butterfly cutting it so I can put more apple inside.

    AMAZING!!! Since there's only 2 of us, I used a 1lb. loin, so I had lots of yummy apples left for a sweet side dish. In place of the cider, I simmered a cup of apple juice with mulling spices, then added a tbsp of apple cider vinegar a couple minutes before I poured it over the rolled loin. It added a little acidity that balanced the carmel apple mix. I served it with basmati rice, and my husband LOVED it!

    This was absolutely fabulous. My entire family just loved it. The caramelized apples paired with the apple cider made this pork loin sing. Don't be afraid to give it a try as it might seem harder then it really is to make. Apples and pork really are wonderful together.

    The pork stays amazingly juicy. I will definitely make this my go too pork loin recipe that I will be handing out to family and friends.
