Ingredients

  • 1 c. unsweetened applesauce
  • 3 T. honey
  • 2 T. sugar-free Dijon mustard
  • 3 T. fresh rosemary leaves chopped
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 T. oil
  • 1½ lbs. pork tenderloin
  • 3 medium firm apples cored and chopped

Instructions

  1. Place the oven rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Combine applesauce, honey, Dijon mustard, and rosemary leaves in a small bowl and stir to combine. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and set aside.
  3. Heat vegetable oil over medium high heat in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Generously season the pork loin with salt and black pepper, to taste. Cook until browned and evenly seared on all sides, approximately 5-10 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and spread half of the applesauce mixture all over the top and sides of the pork. Arrange the chopped apples around the sides of the pork and place it in the pre-heated oven.
  5. Roast for 20 minutes, then remove from oven and flip the pork. Brush with remaining applesauce mixture and return to the oven for another 20-25 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through.
