Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Season 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  3. Step 3: Brush pork with 3 tbsp maple syrup mixed with 2 minced garlic cloves. Transfer skillet to oven and roast for 15-18 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  4. Step 4: While pork roasts, melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 diced apples and 1 tbsp chopped fresh sage; sauté for 5 minutes until apples soften.
  5. Step 5: Add 1/2 cup apple cider and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar to the saucepan. Simmer for 5 minutes until liquid reduces and compote thickens slightly.
  6. Step 6: Remove pork from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve topped with warm apple and sage compote.
