Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pork loin roast
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 Apples (sliced, preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1 Onion (sliced)
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a large baking dish or roasting pan lightly with olive oil.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

Step 3

Place the pork loin in the baking dish and coat it entirely with the marinade. Let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb some of the flavors.

Step 4

While the pork marinates, core and slice the apples, and slice the onion thinly.

Step 5

Arrange the sliced apples and onions around the pork in the baking dish. Pour the chicken broth into the dish to keep everything moist during cooking.

Step 6

Dot the apples and onions with the unsalted butter and sprinkle ground cinnamon over them for extra flavor.

Step 7

Roast the pork in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.

Step 8

About halfway through cooking, baste the pork and apples with the juices from the pan to enhance the flavor and keep them moist.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Serve the honey-roasted pork slices alongside the caramelized apples and onions, drizzling some of the pan juices over the top for added flavor.
