Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin
- 3 medium apples (preferably Honeycrisp or Gala)
- 1 large onion
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Season the pork tenderloin with salt, black pepper, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
Peel, core, and slice the apples into wedges. Slice the onion into thin strips.
Step 4
In the bottom of the crock pot, layer the onion slices and half of the apple wedges.
Step 5
Place the seared pork tenderloin on top of the apples and onions.
Step 6
Add the remaining apple wedges on top of the pork.
Step 7
In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, chicken broth, cinnamon, and ground cloves. Pour this mixture over the pork tenderloin and apples in the crock pot.
Step 8
Add the sprigs of rosemary on top for additional flavor.
Step 9
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the pork is tender and fully cooked (internal temperature of 145°F).
Step 10
Once cooked, remove the rosemary sprigs and transfer the pork to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 11
Serve the pork slices with the tender apple and onion mixture on the side, drizzling with the juices from the crock pot for extra flavor.
