Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Pork loin roast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground allspice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Apple cider
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 3 medium Apples, sliced
- 1 medium Yellow onion, sliced
- 4 Fresh thyme sprigs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the pork loin roast dry with paper towels and season it all over with salt, black pepper, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground allspice.
In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the apple cider and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the honey and Dijon mustard until combined.
Add the sliced apples, sliced onion, and fresh thyme sprigs to the skillet, arranging them around the pan.
Place the seared pork loin on top of the apple and onion mixture in the skillet.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 75-90 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate doneness.
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork loin rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pork loin and serve it with the roasted apples and onion mixture, drizzling with the pan juices for extra flavor. Enjoy!
