A quick and easy one-pan pork tenderloin recipe featuring a sweet and tangy apple cider glaze with roasted apples and root vegetables, perfect for cozy fall dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 to 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin, trimmed of excess fat
  • 1 cup apple cider (preferably unfiltered)
  • 2 medium apples, cored and sliced (Granny Smith or Braeburn recommended)
  • 2 cups root vegetables (carrots, parsnips, or sweet potatoes), peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 medium yellow or sweet onion, sliced into rings or wedges
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage or thyme, chopped (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the pork tenderloin dry and season all over with salt, pepper, and half of the chopped sage or thyme.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork on all sides for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove pork and set aside.
  4. Toss the root vegetables, sliced apples, and onion rings with the remaining olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and the rest of the herbs. Spread evenly in the skillet around where the pork will sit.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
  6. Return the pork to the skillet center and pour the glaze evenly over the pork and veggies.
  7. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  8. Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the pork to a cutting board. Tent with foil and let rest for 5-10 minutes.
  9. Stir the glaze in the pan and serve the caramelized apples and veggies alongside sliced pork tenderloin.

Notes

Do not skip searing the pork to lock in moisture and create a flavorful crust. Use an instant-read thermometer to avoid overcooking. Rest the pork after roasting for juicy slices. If glaze thickens too much, loosen with a splash of apple cider or water. Avoid crowding the pan to ensure proper caramelization.
