Ingredients
- 2 pound pork loin
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup apple juice
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 medium apples, sliced (preferably Granny Smith)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
1. 1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels and season it generously with salt and pepper.
2. 2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, apple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth to create the apple glaze.
3. 3. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides until well-browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.
4. 4. Pour the apple glaze over the pork loin and scatter sliced apples around it. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
5. 5. Remove from the oven and let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving alongside the glazed apples.
Notes
Consider using alternatives for soy sauce, such as tamari for gluten-free options, or honey or maple syrup to adjust sweetness. Feel free to experiment with different apple varieties like Fuji or Honeycrisp for a sweeter twist.
