Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Pork tenderloin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 medium (finely chopped) Shallot
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 medium (peeled, cored, and diced) Apples
- 1 cup Apple cider
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the pork tenderloins with salt and black pepper on all sides.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork tenderloins until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet with the pork tenderloins to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 145°F (63°C).
While the pork is roasting, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped shallot and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced apples, apple cider, chicken broth, honey, thyme, and ground cinnamon to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Simmer the mixture for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the mixture is slightly reduced.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the apple mixture and cook for 2-3 more minutes until the mixture thickens to a glaze-like consistency.
Once the pork is done roasting, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve the sliced pork tenderloins with the apple glaze drizzled on top. Enjoy!
