Here’s a delicious Pork Loin with Apple and Rosemary recipe — perfect for a cozy, flavorful dinner 🍏🌿
🥩 Pork Loin with Apple and Rosemary
Ingredients
- 2–3 lb (900–1350 g) boneless pork loin
- 2–3 apples, sliced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3–4 sprigs fresh rosemary (or 1 tsp dried)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, sliced
- ½ cup chicken broth or apple cider
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season the pork: Rub pork loin with olive oil, salt, pepper, minced garlic, and rosemary.
- Sear the pork (optional): In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear all sides until golden (adds extra flavor).
- Arrange in roasting pan: Place onions and apple slices in the pan, then lay the pork on top.
- Add liquid: Pour chicken broth or apple cider around the pork (not over the top, to keep the seasoning intact).
- Roast: Bake for 50–70 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Rest the meat: Let pork rest 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve: Arrange apple slices around pork, spoon pan juices over the top.
💡 Tips
- For extra sweetness, drizzle apples with 1 tsp honey before roasting.
- Add root vegetables like carrots or parsnips to make it a full meal.
- Leftovers make great sandwiches or salads.
If you want, I can also give you a slow cooker version that makes the pork super tender and even more infused with apple and rosemary flavor. Do you want me to do that?
