Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Place 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin on a baking sheet lined with foil and brush it evenly with half of the honey glaze.
Step 3: Arrange 2 medium cored and sliced apples around the pork and drizzle the apples with 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar and sprinkle with 2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves.
Step 4: Roast in the oven for 25 minutes, basting the pork with the remaining honey glaze halfway through, until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F and apples are tender.
Step 5: Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve pork slices with roasted apples, spooning any pan juices over the meat.
