Ingredients

• 2 pieces Pork tenderloin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 medium (finely chopped) Shallot
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 2 medium (peeled, cored, and diced) Apples
• 1 cup Apple cider
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the pork tenderloins with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the pork tenderloins until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Step 5

Transfer the skillet with the pork tenderloins to the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 145°F (63°C).

Step 6

While the pork is roasting, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Step 7

Add the chopped shallot and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 9

Add the diced apples, apple cider, chicken broth, honey, thyme, and ground cinnamon to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.

Step 10

Simmer the mixture for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the mixture is slightly reduced.

Step 11

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry.

Step 12

Stir the cornstarch slurry into the apple mixture and cook for 2-3 more minutes until the mixture thickens to a glaze-like consistency.

Step 13

Once the pork is done roasting, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 14

Serve the sliced pork tenderloins with the apple glaze drizzled on top. Enjoy!
