It would seem that I’m really into pork recipes these days… and apples! And it ain’t no lie!
HEY HEY! Happiest Sunday to you! I’m in beautiful Kohler, Wisconsin sippin’ on wine, enjoying the beautiful American Club Resort, and taking it all in. I can get used to this… I’ll need to start rolling in a lot more greens , so that might be a little bump on the road, but let’s not stop dreaming!
Good thing about dreams is that they can also include Apple Mustard Glazed Pork Tenderloin – true story – and we won’t have to think too much about them money bags.
You know how we all go through these food phases? One week it’s all about the pizza, the next week we’re all about chicken, and by the end of the month, it’s pretty much rubbing your favorite glaze over pork tenderloin for daaaayz!? No, not you? Hm….
Seriously, guys. That stuff up there! We really, really need taste-o-vision. How cool would that be?!
Apple Mustard Glazed Pork Tenderloin
The delicious combination of apples + apple cider vinegar + mustard + pork? Yeah. That’s pretty much spot-on in part because of STAR’s Unfiltered Organic Apple Cider Vinegar. Made with organically grown apples, their apple cider vinegar is a perfect way to add delicious flavors to glazes and marinades.
To add, during the month of October, and as a proud partner of Susan G. Komen® and its mission to end breast cancer forever, Borges USA will donate $60,000 to Susan G. Komen®!
And what better way to showcase STAR’s wonderful apple cider than pouring it over some tender and tasty meat!? Enter: Pork Tenderloin.
HOW TO PREPARE PORK LOIN
- The breakdown is that this wonderful glazed pork tenderloin is cooked in an apple and mustard marinade together with onions and fresh apples. It is simple, straightforward, and superrrr delicious! Doesn’t hurt that prep time is all of 5 minutes.
- You’ll whisk together the marinade, pour it over the meat, cover with foil, and bam! the waiting game starts, but you will get to taste the best pork of ever and ever.
So there it is. Please get ‘er done, my fellow dinner-makers!
Apple Mustard Glazed Pork Tenderloin
Equipment

Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin

- 1/2 cup apple juice
- 2 tablespoons STAR Unfiltered Organic Apple Cider Vinegar

- 1 tablespoon chopped sage
Instructions
- Preheat oven at 350˚F.
- Lightly grease a roasting pan with cooking spray; season pork tenderloin with salt and fresh ground pepper and transfer it to the roasting pan.

I will definitely make this again! Delicious flavor! I would sear it before baking, then bake as directed. Raw to finished took 60-80 minutes. Most cookbooks recommend 170* internal temperature. Tender meat. Served with sweet potatoes and green beans.
Hi!
Happy you enjoyed it! I love pork with apples! 😃
In response to the cooking temperature, according to the USDA and the National Pork Board, the safe internal pork cooking temperature is 145° F.
These vegetables and the tenderloin are easy to cook right but not together! For the pork, just turn it off when the thermometer reads 145 degrees F. Start checking after 30 minutes. The vegetables recommended by this recipe require far more time. The apples were fine.
Made this for dinner tonight. The roast was tender and moist but I wasn’t a fan of the sage….
Hello. This looks delicious. Can it be done in a slow cooker?
Sure! I’d say about 3.5 to 4 hours in the slow cooker, but start checking around the 3rd hour for doneness. Pork is done when internal temperature reaches between 145F to 160F.
This was nor a success here. The tenderloin was totally overdone and the flavor very heavy. Won’t be trying this again.
This looks and sound amazing! I’m concerned on the cooking time? I normally don’t cook a tenderloin nearly this long…is the cooking time correct?
Hey! I tried this last night – I was nervous about the cooking time as well, so I changed it. Covered with foil and cooked for about 40-45 minutes at 400 degrees, then took the foil off for another 15 minutes. It was cooked through but not too tough – could probably have even lessened to 35 minutes under foil.
I also added honey to the tenderloin. I poured half the glaze and some honey on the tenderloin, then mixed some more honey in the second half of the glaze to add when I took the foil off. It stayed moist and the flavor was subtle and warm.
thanks for adding your experience and modifications… the stated temp and time does seem off for tenderloin. I think I’ll try with your changes, too.
I’ve got to have this for dinner soon!
What a gorgeous tenderloin! I love these flavors!!!
This looks fantastic! I gotta get that apple cider vinegar!
Such a perfect recipe for entertaining!
Aside from the cider vinegar I think I have all of the ingredients for this! Will have to try maybe with real apple cider.
So much goodness in this! Fall awesomeness!
Looks like the perfect easy weeknight dinner to me! And best of all, I know my family would love it too!
This is exactly what I would love to make for Sunday dinner!
I’m obsessed with ACV and mustard so this one is right up my alley!
Lovely fall dish.
The perfect fall comfort food, Kate – this would be an amazing Sunday dinner!
I’m going a little pork crazy myself these days – made some boneless chops the other day with apples, grapes, and hard cider. This look so easy and delish. Love the mustard in it. Definitely going to try this.
Apple Mustard Glazed Pork Tenderloin?! Fall perfection! <3
