Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 2 minced garlic cloves to create the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Pat dry 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin and season generously with salt and black pepper. Brush the honey-mustard glaze all over the pork.
  3. Step 3: In a large roasting pan, toss 3 tbsp olive oil with 2 sliced apples and 1 large sliced red onion, seasoning with salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves. Spread in an even layer.
  4. Step 4: Place the glazed pork tenderloin on top of the apples and onions. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, basting the pork with pan juices halfway through, until an internal temperature of 145°F is reached.
  5. Step 5: Remove pork from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve slices alongside the roasted apples and onions with pan juices drizzled over.
