Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork loin
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 4 apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), cored and sliced
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels and season all over with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cinnamon.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork loin on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and sauté for 2 minutes until softened.
Stir in the apple slices and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Drizzle honey and apple cider vinegar over the apples and onions, stirring to coat evenly.
Push the apple-onion mixture to the sides of the skillet and place the seared pork loin back in the center.
Arrange rosemary sprigs (if using) over the apples and onions to impart a fresh aroma.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve the pork slices with the roasted apple-onion mixture spooned on top or alongside.
