Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Homemade Applesauce
New! Printable Recipes, here. Serves 4-6 2 pork tenderloins (about 2.5 pounds) 2 cloves of garlic 1 tablespoon of soy sauce 2 teaspoons of worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon of dijon 1 tablespoon of brown sugar 2 teaspoons of salt 1 teaspoon of pepper ….. 8 apples (any kind) 2 tablepoons of butter 1/2 cup of orange juice 1 teaspoon of cinnamon 1 tablespoon of brown sugar Begin by marinading the pork. Mix together garlic, soy, worcestershire, dijon, brown sugar, salt and pepper in a plastic bag or shallow dish. Marinade pork in mixture for at least 30 minutes.
Next, make the applesauce – it bakes for 1 hour, so be sure to make it ahead of time.
Peel and core the apples – keeping some of the red peel. I add some of the red peel to the cooking apples to give it great color. Cut the apples into 1-inch chunks. In a saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar for 2 minutes, then add apples, orange juice, cinnamon and a piece of the red peel. Cook on the stovetop for 10 minutes on low, then cover and put in a 325 oven for 1 hour. If your saucepan is not oven safe, transfer to a covered casserole dish. 
When it is finished cooking in the oven, breakup of the apples by stirring with a whisk. Serve warm. You can make this a couple of days in advance and just reheat as needed.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
For the pork, heat a medium skillet, then add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sear the pork on each side for 3 minutes, until nice color is achieved. Put the entire skillet in the oven (uncovered) and cook for another 20-25 minutes, until the pork reaches 150 degrees on a meat thermometer. Again, if your skillet is not ovenproof, then transfer it to a baking sheet.
Remove it from the oven, cover with lid (or foil) and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve with warm applesauce.
