Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (approximately 1 lb) Pork tenderloin
- 2 medium-sized Apples
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon (finely chopped) Fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 4 sheets (about 12 x 16 inches each) Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the pork tenderloin by patting it dry with a paper towel, then seasoning it with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Slice the apples into thin wedges, discarding the core and seeds.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, honey, rosemary, cinnamon, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
Place each sheet of aluminum foil on a flat surface and lightly coat the center with olive oil or non-stick spray.
Place the seasoned pork tenderloin in the center of each foil sheet and arrange apple slices around and on top of the meat.
Drizzle the marinade evenly over the pork and apples.
Fold the foil sheets into packets by bringing the long ends together over the pork and folding them down tightly. Then, fold in the short ends to seal the packets completely.
Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the packets from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before carefully opening them to release steam.
Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
