Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, and 2 tbsp honey until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Place 1.5 pounds pork loin on a rimmed sheet pan and brush all over with the mustard glaze. Toss 2 sliced apples and 1 sliced red onion with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper, then spread evenly around the pork.
  3. Step 3: Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and the apples and onions are tender and caramelized. Let pork rest 5 minutes before slicing and serving with the roasted fruit and vegetables.
