<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThose of us of a certain age remember when Alice served the Brady Bunch \"pork chops and applesauce\" and probably read that in Peter's Humphrey Bogart impersonating voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pork and apples are a classic combination. Not only do savory pork and sweet\/tart apples complement each other taste wise, apple harvesting and pork slaughtering both happen in the Fall. So it is natural they are often paired together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What type of skillet should I use? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you have a cast iron skillet, use it for this recipe. If you do not have one, get one! Seriously, it is perfect for pan searing meats on the stove and then finishing them in the oven. No extra dishes to wash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have two (a 9 inch and a smaller saut\u00e9 pan) that live on my stove because they are used daily. Plus, I have a second 9 inch in my pan drawer for when I need two skillets at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can use any skillet that is oven safe (watch for plastic handles and non-stick coatings). If you aren't sure your skillet is oven safe, sear it on the stove and transfer to a baking dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What type of apples to use for roasting?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Technically you can use any apple you want. However, some will hold up better to roasting than others. A few suggestions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Honeycrisp<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Braeburn<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Fuji<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Gala<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Granny Smith<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Whichever apple type you chose make sure they are firm. Mushy apples are more likely to fall apart and you will end up with applesauce instead of chunks of roasted apples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients for Honey Apple Pork Tenderloin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This recipe is a bit different than most apple and pork recipes not because of what is in it, but what is not. There is no cinnamon or other warm spices. Instead, it is infused with a touch of honey, some Dijon mustard and fresh rosemary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For this recipe you will need<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- pork tenderloin (about 1 \u00bd - 2 pounds, one that will fit in a skillet)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- apples (see above)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- unsweetened applesauce<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- honey<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Dijon mustard (good substitutes are spicy brown or stone ground)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- fresh rosemary leaves (thyme or tarragon would be good substitutes)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- olive oil, salt and pepper.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
