Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 2 minced garlic cloves.
  2. Step 2: Pat dry 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin and season all over with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Place in a roasting pan and brush the maple-mustard glaze evenly over the pork.
  3. Step 3: Toss 2 medium cored and sliced apples with 2 tbsp olive oil and place them around the pork in the roasting pan. Scatter 3 sprigs of fresh thyme over the pork and apples.
  4. Step 4: Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, basting the pork with remaining glaze halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing the pork and serving with the roasted apples.
