Ingredients

• 2 lb boneless pork loin
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground black pepper
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 3 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), cored and quartered
• 1 large yellow onion, sliced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels and rub it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the minced garlic and chopped rosemary on all sides of the pork.

Step 3

Heat a large ovenproof skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear the pork loin for about 2 minutes per side until browned. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the butter and allow it to melt. Stir in the sliced onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and beginning to caramelize.

Step 5

Add the apple quarters to the skillet and cook for an additional 3 minutes, allowing them to begin to brown slightly.

Step 6

Pour the chicken broth and honey into the skillet, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 7

Return the pork loin to the skillet, nestling it among the onions and apples.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Stir the apples and onions in the pan juices to coat them before serving.

Step 10

Slice the pork and serve with the roasted apples and onions. Drizzle some of the pan juices over the top for extra flavor.
