Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Rub 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin all over with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped thyme, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Place the pork on a roasting pan and roast for 25-30 minutes until an internal temperature of 145°F is reached. Remove from oven and tent with foil to rest.
Step 3: While pork roasts, melt 2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 large thinly sliced yellow onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
Step 4: Add 1 medium diced apple, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 1 tbsp brown sugar to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until apples are tender and compote thickens.
Step 5: Slice the rested pork tenderloin and serve topped with warm apple-onion compote.
