As my main course, I’m sharing one of my favorite things to make for holidays, Pork Roast. Most of the time, I make garlic pork roast but this time I wanted to try something different. Oh…my…goodness! This was the best pork roast, and you know how much I like garlic to even cast that aside. This perfect pork tenderloin is cooked on the bed of apples and glazed in maple Dijon sauce. I also brought some extra apple flavor and moisture to this pork by adding some apple slices right into the meat. Just make a few holes by stabbing pork and stick thin apple slices right in there. Perfection!

Apple Maple Dijon Pork Roast | Progressive Dinner (+Giveaway)

Ingredients

  • Boneless Pork Tenderloin size would depend on your needs, about 2 to 3 lbs
  • 2 apples gala or pink lady would work nicely
  • 3 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 4 Tbsp maple syrup
  • Salt
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 and grease a roasting pan with oil.
  2. Core and chop one of the apples and half of the other. Spread it at the bottom of the roasting pan close together.
  3. Sprinkle pork loin with some salt.
  4. Stab pork with a knife a few times, evenly all over the length of the pork. Do it deep but not all the way through. (About 1/2 inch wide.)
  5. Slice remaining half of the apple into thin slices and shove them into the holes in pork.
  6. Place pork loin on top of apples in the roasting pan.
  7. Whisk Dijon mustard, maple syrup and some salt together and rub it generously, all over pork.
  8. Place it in the oven and cook until the internal thermometer reads 155 degrees. (If you don't have an internal thermometer, make a small but deep cut into a thickest part of pork and press. If the liquid is coming out pink, it's not ready yet.)
  9. Depending of the size of the pork, it could take from 50 minutes up to 1.5 hours to cook.
  10. Let pork rest for about 15 minutes before cutting.

  6. The combination of apple, maple and dijon does sound amazing! …like earth shatteringly amazing. I have an apple porkchop recipe and go for anything with dijon and meat. I am going to have to make this soon for my family.

  27. Boy do I ever hear you about working ahead!! Being new to the blogging and recipes I have so many that I’m making for us for the holidays. Which means? That I’ll have to save them for next year to post because I certainly can’t make dish and have it several weeks ahead of time, especially meat. Your pictures are fabulous and we do love our pork — I’m hungry right now – I haven’t had dinner yet.
