Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb pork tenderloin
- 2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)
- 1 medium red onion
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 0.25 tsp ground ginger
- 0.25 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp kosher salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 8 pieces wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
Cut the pork tenderloin into 1-inch cubes and place in a mixing bowl.
Core and cut the apples into 1-inch cubes, leaving the skin on for texture and flavor.
Peel and cut the red onion into 1-inch chunks to match the size of the pork and apples.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, ground ginger, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper to make the glaze.
Add 2 tablespoons of the glaze to the bowl with the pork and toss to coat evenly. Reserve the remaining glaze for basting.
Thread the pork, apple cubes, and onion chunks alternately onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a small amount of space between each piece for even cooking.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the pork is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
During the last few minutes of grilling, brush the skewers with the reserved glaze to caramelize the surface.
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Serve the Glazed Apple Pork Kabobs warm with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
