Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3 ounces pork and 1/2 cup apples)

Ingredients

  • 2  (1/2-pound) pork tenderloins
  • Cooking spray
  • 1/4  cup  Dijon mustard
  • 6  tablespoons  maple syrup, divided
  • 1  tablespoon  chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  pepper
  • 4  medium Granny Smith apples, each peeled and cut into 16 wedges (about 2 1/2 pounds)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425°.

Trim fat from pork. Place pork on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Combine mustard, 2 tablespoons syrup, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a small bowl; brush over pork. Insert meat thermometer into thickest part of pork. Bake at 425° for 25 minutes or until thermometer registers 160° (slightly pink).

While pork is baking, heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add apples, and saute 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Reduce heat to low, and add 4 tablespoons maple syrup. Simmer 10 minutes or until apples are tender, stirring occasionally. Cut pork crosswise into slices; spoon cooked apples over pork.

This was fantastic. Couldn't have been easier either. I followed the recipe exactly, using pure maple syrup and dried rosemary, and it turned out just perfect. My husband loved it to. This is simple enough for a weeknight dinner, but definitely worthy of a dinner party.11/10/09

Oh, my gosh, so incredibly good and easy! What more can you ask for? I didn't change a thing. The apples were the perfect pairing - my hubby and I each had a bite of apple on each bite of pork and it was perfect!09/03/09
