Recipe Day: Apple Pork Loins
Ingredients
- 2 bone-in pork loin chops (1" thick, 1 lb each)
- 2 small apples, wedged
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon brown mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- salt and pepper
Directions
- Make an even bed of apples and onions in a casserole pan that can hold both loins next to each other.
- Mix syrup, oil, mustard, paprika, rosemary, and thyme in a flat container.
- Douse each loin in the marinade then lay in casserole pan. Drizzle remaining marinade across loins. Sprinkle cinnamon mostly on the apples. Season loins with salt and pepper.
- Let sit in fridge for 2 hours then bring up to room temperature about 30 minutes before cooking.
- Preheat oven to 375. Remove loins from casserole pan and precook apples and onions for 20 minutes.
- Oil a skillet and quickly sear both sides of each pork loin (A quick flip to each side, less than 30 seconds per side).
- Return loins to casserole pan and cook to internal temperature of 145 degrees (15 - 25 minutes).
- Let sit for 5 minutes before carving meat off the bones. Serve and enjoy!
- Bonus Treat: Soak any trimmed fat in the maple apple broth for an extra delicious artery clogger.
