Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Rub 1.5 lbs pork tenderloin with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon evenly.
  2. Step 2: Place pork on a roasting pan and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until internal temperature reaches 145°F, then remove and let rest for 10 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 large peeled and diced apple and 1 medium diced yellow onion, sauté for 5 minutes until softened and starting to caramelize.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until the mixture thickens into a chutney.
