Apple-Stuffed Pork Loin Roast Recipe | Easy & Delicious

INGREDIENTS

2 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon coarse salt 1 teaspoon dried rosemary 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1 boneless center cut pork loin roast (4 to 5 pounds) 1 tablespoon butter 2 large tart apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced (about 2 cups) 1 medium onion, cut into thin strips (about 1 cup) 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1 cup apple cider or apple juice

PREPARATION:

1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Combine garlic, salt, rosemary, thyme and pepper in small bowl. Cut lengthwise down roast almost to, but not through bottom. Open like a book. Rub half of garlic mixture onto cut sides of pork.
2. Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add apples and onion; cook and stir 5 to 10 minutes or until soft. Stir in brown sugar and mustard. Spread mixture evenly onto one cut side of roast. Close halves; tie roast with kitchen string at 2-inch intervals. Place roast on rack in shallow roasting pan. Pour apple cider over roast. Rub outside of roast with remaining garlic mixture.
3. Roast, uncovered, basting frequently with pan drippings 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until thermometer inserted into thickest part of roast registers 155°F. Remove roast from oven; let stand 15 minutes before slicing. (Internal temperature will continue to rise 5°F to 10°F during stand time.) Carve roast crosswise to serve.

Serving Suggestion Serve with broccoli or Brussels sprouts, buttered noodles tossed with grated parmesan, and a tomato and cucumber salad. This recipe appears in: Midwestern NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION: Serving Size: 1/2-inch slice Sodium 184 mg Cholesterol 57 mg Total Fat 10 g Calories 190
