Ingredients needed:
butter apple ground cinnamon fresh sage pork tenderloin kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper olive oil shallots white wine chicken broth apple cider heavy whipping cream
How to make Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Sage and Apple:
Start the apple and sage sauce:
Heat butter. Add apple slices, cinnamon and sage. Sauté until the apples are softened.
Prepare the pork:
You’ll have two tenderloins. Sprinkle sage, salt and pepper on the two tenderloins. Place two layers of apples on one of the tenderloins. Sandwich the two tenderloins together and tie with twine. Sprinkle with more sage, salt and pepper. Brown the tenderloins on all sides in a hot pan of olive oil. Roast the pork in the oven until the temperature reaches 140 degrees F. Remove the pork to a plate and cover with foil while you finish the sauce.
Finish the apple and sage sauce:
Place the roasting pan over a medium burner and fry the shallots. Then add the wine, chicken stock, and cider. Stir, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of the pan. Add reserved apple slices and any juices to the pan. Bring to a boil, and cook until the sauce just begins to thicken and become syrupy. Pour in heavy cream and cook a few minutes more until the sauce just thickens. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Spoon the sauce over the roasted pork to serve. Yum!
You might consider serving this roasted pork tenderloin with mashed potatoes or rice. A side dish of green beans or sweet potatoes would be really great too. Enjoy!
