Ingredients
  

2 lbs pork loin

2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, minced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

2 apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and diced

1/4 cup pure maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 cup chicken broth

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pork: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, mix the minced rosemary, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture all over the pork loin, making sure to coat it evenly.

    Sear the Pork: In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add a bit of olive oil. Once hot, add the pork loin and sear it for 3-4 minutes on each side until it’s golden brown.

      Roast the Pork: Once seared, pour the chicken broth into the skillet to provide moisture during cooking. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

        Make the Maple Apple Sauce: While the pork is roasting, prepare the apple sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the diced apples, maple syrup, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened and coated in the syrup. Remove from heat and set aside.

          Rest the Pork: Once the pork is done roasting, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat moist and flavorful.

            Serve: Slice the pork loin into medallions and serve it drizzled with the warm maple apple sauce.
