Apple Roasted Pork Tenderloin

This is a simple, quick and delicious dish.  Pork tenderloin is a tender cut of meat that cooks fast.  In about 40 minutes you can be chewing down on a delicious pork tenderloin with roasted apples.  Yes, you can do this no problem.

Apple Roasted Pork Tenderloin

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.

Core and slice 3 Granny Smith Apples into thick slices.  I peeled them as my son hates peel, but keeping the peel on keeps the apple shape.

In a small bowl combine the rub ingredients.

Trim the pork tenderloin, removing any fat or silver skin that you see. Rub the pork tenderloin with a little olive oil (~1Tbs) and then sprinkle with the rub.

Heat 1-2 Tbs of Olive Oil in a oven safe skillet over medium/high heat.  Once the olive oil starts to shimmer, add the seasoned pork tenderloin.

Brown the pork tenderloin on all sides, turn as needed. This will take about 7-9 minutes.

Once the pork tenderloin is evenly browned, remove it from the heat and add the apples and 1/4 cup of apple juice.

Place the pan in the oven and cook until the internal temperature of the pork tenderloin reaches 150 degrees in the thickest part.  Depending on the size of the tenderloin, this will take between 10-18 minutes.

Remove from the oven and allow the pork tenderloin to rest for 5 minutes.

Slice and serve with the Apples on the side.
