This Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Apples is the perfect one-pan meal for fall. It features seasoned pork tenderloin seared to golden perfection to lock in all the juices, then roasted with onions and sweet apples in a luscious apple cider sauce. Best of all, this dish is ready in less than an hour.
We eat a lot of pork in our house, and for good reason! It’s an easy and versatile protein that can be incredibly delicious when cooked correctly. I have been working with every cut of pork for many years, at home and in restaurants, and learned the secrets to getting it just right every single time. The most important rule? Never overcook it!
A perfect pork tenderloin should be juicy, tender, and have a touch of pink in the center. Searing it first is key to locking in those juices before it finishes cooking in the oven. I’ve created this pork tenderloin recipe as a delicious fall dinner since pork and apples are a classic combination. It’s all about the sweet, fruity flavor of the apples perfectly complementing the savory pork.
