Ingredients
For the Pork Tenderloin
- 2 Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 1 bunch sage
- 1 4 lb pork tenderloin (might be sold as 2 tenderloins)
- 1 cup white cooking wine
For the White Wine Apple Sauce
- 3 tablespoon butter
- pan drippings sage leaves removed
Instructions
To make the Pork Tenderloin Roast:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the bottom of a roasting pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Put the sliced apples, half of the garlic, and ¾ of the sage leaves in the bottom of a roasting pan.
- Set the pork tenderloin on top of the apples, garlic and sage leaves. Tuck remaining garlic throughout the folds of the pork tenderloin and add the remaining sage leaves on top.
- Set 2 slices of bacon lengthwise over the top of the tenderloin roast. Cut the other two slices of bacon in half, then weave them in with the lengthwise bacon slices.
- Pour the white wine in the bottom of the pan, surrounding the roast. Place in the oven and bake for 30-45 minutes, until internal temperature in the thickest part of the roast reaches 145 degrees.
- Remove from oven; cover with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
To Make the White Wine Apple Sauce
- While the tenderloin is resting, pour the pan drippings into a saucepan. Add butter, and cook over low heat while mashing the apples into a sauce with the back of a spoon or fork.
- Heat through to the consistency of a thick sauce. If it's too thick, add a splash of water. Serve on the side.
