Ingredients
Pork Tenderloin
- 1 ½ pounds pork tenderloin
- ¼ cup (50 g) light brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Cranberry Apple Topping
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 small Honeycrisp apple, peeled, diced
- ½ cup (50 g) fresh cranberries
- ½ cup (120 g) apple cider
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over the pork tenderloin to coat it fully.
- Place the tenderloin in a large, oven-safe skillet. Roast in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, or approximately 20 minutes per pound, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- When the pork is done, remove it from the oven. Transfer to a platter, covered loosely with aluminum foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute for tender slices.
- While the pork rests, prepare the cranberry apple topping. In the same pan used to cook the pork, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the apple, cranberries, apple cider, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 12-15 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and can coat the back of a spoon.
- Return the pork tenderloin to the skillet, spooning the cranberry apple sauce over top.
- Garnish with parsley. Slice and serve.
