Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim excess fat from pork tenderloin. In a small bowl, mix thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Rub herb mixture evenly over pork.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear pork on all sides for 3 minutes until browned, then transfer to a plate.
  3. Step 3: Add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet. Add sliced apples and shallot, cooking for 4 minutes until slightly softened. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Return pork to the skillet. Add maple syrup and white wine, scraping up any browned bits. Place skillet in oven and roast for 20-25 minutes until pork reaches 145°F (63°C) internally.
  5. Step 5: Remove pork and let rest for 10 minutes. Add butter to the skillet and stir to melt, creating a simple pan sauce. Slice pork and serve with roasted apples and pan sauce.
