Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to create the glaze.
Step 2: Pat dry 1 pound pork tenderloin and place on a lined baking sheet. Brush half of the maple-spice glaze evenly over the pork.
Step 3: Toss 2 medium cored and sliced apples with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, then arrange around the pork on the baking sheet.
Step 4: Roast pork and apples for 25 minutes, brushing the pork with the remaining glaze halfway through, until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F and apples are tender.
Step 5: Remove from the oven, let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing, and serve alongside the roasted apples.
