Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Season 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 3: Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides for 3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tbsp bourbon, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 3 minced garlic cloves.
Step 5: Pour the maple-bourbon glaze over the seared pork and scatter 2 medium sliced apples and 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary around it.
Step 6: Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and apples are tender.
Step 7: Remove from oven and let pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Spoon the glaze and roasted apples over the pork to serve.
