Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork loin roast
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 Apples (sliced, preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 Onion (sliced)
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a large baking dish or roasting pan lightly with olive oil.
In a small bowl, combine the honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Place the pork loin in the baking dish and coat it entirely with the marinade. Let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb some of the flavors.
While the pork marinates, core and slice the apples, and slice the onion thinly.
Arrange the sliced apples and onions around the pork in the baking dish. Pour the chicken broth into the dish to keep everything moist during cooking.
Dot the apples and onions with the unsalted butter and sprinkle ground cinnamon over them for extra flavor.
Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
About halfway through cooking, baste the pork and apples with the juices from the pan to enhance the flavor and keep them moist.
Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the honey-roasted pork slices alongside the caramelized apples and onions, drizzling some of the pan juices over the top for added flavor.
