Ingredients

• 2 pieces pork tenderloins
• 1 large fresh apple (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 0.5 cups dried cranberries
• 0.75 cups apple cider
• 0.5 cups chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloins on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

Peel, core, and slice the apple into thin wedges.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the apple slices and dried cranberries. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the apples begin to soften.

Step 6

Stir in the apple cider, chicken stock, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Return the pork tenderloins to the skillet, nestling them into the cranberry-apple mixture.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 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 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Serve the sliced pork tenderloin with the warm cranberry-apple mixture spooned over the top. Enjoy!
