Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pork loin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 medium Onion, thinly sliced
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 8 ounces Mushrooms, sliced
• 2 large Apples, cored and thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine (optional)
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the pork loin dry with paper towels and season it all over with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium in the same skillet and melt the butter. Add the sliced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and browned.

Step 6

Stir in the sliced apples and thyme leaves, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the apples begin to soften.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth and white wine (if using). Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 8

Return the seared pork loin to the skillet, nestling it into the apple and mushroom mixture.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.

Step 10

If you prefer a creamy sauce, remove the skillet from the oven and stir in the heavy cream before serving.

Step 11

Let the pork rest for 5 minutes after removing it from the oven, then slice it into medallions.

Step 12

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm, spooning the apples, mushrooms, and sauce over the pork.
