A quick and easy savory honey mustard glazed pork tenderloin paired with roasted apples, perfect for a comforting and elegant dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin (450680 g), trimmed
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, freshly cracked, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and chopped rosemary. Set aside.
  3. Trim the pork tenderloin by removing any silver skin or excess fat. Pat dry with paper towels.
  4. Season the pork generously with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  5. Brush about half of the honey mustard glaze evenly over the pork tenderloin using a pastry brush or spoon.
  6. Peel, core, and slice the apples into wedges. Toss them gently with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and a little pepper.
  7. Arrange the pork tenderloin on the baking sheet and spread the apples around it.
  8. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
  9. Remove from the oven, brush the pork with the remaining glaze, and gently toss the apples to turn them.
  10. Return to the oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  11. Transfer the pork to a cutting board, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
  12. Slice the pork into medallions and serve with the roasted apples. Spoon any pan juices over the top.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking the pork. Brush glaze halfway through roasting to prevent burning. Let pork rest before slicing to retain juices. Peeling apples is optional but recommended for smoother texture. Toss apples halfway through roasting for even caramelization.
