Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Season 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 3: Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 2 minced garlic cloves to make the glaze.
Step 5: Brush half of the glaze over the pork and arrange 2 cored and sliced Granny Smith apples tossed with 1 tsp ground cinnamon around the pork in the skillet.
Step 6: Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 15 minutes.
Step 7: Remove the skillet, brush the pork with the remaining glaze, then roast for another 10 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
