This recipe is incredible easy, fast, and flavorful. I will NEVER do pork tenderloin in a slow cooker again. The glaze is sweet and tangy and the pork is moist and delicious. This recipe is perfect for busy moms.
Cook time: 25 min; Level: Easy; Yield: 4-6 servings
Ingredients
· 2 (1 pound) pork tenderloins, cut in 1/2
· Vegetable oil
· Salt and freshly ground black pepper
· 1 1/2 cups apple cider
· 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
· 1/4 cup maple syrup
11/2 Granny Smith Apple, diced
Corn starch or thickener
Directions
1. Heat oven to 500 degrees F and arrange rack in the upper third.
2. Brush pork tenderloin with oil, and season well with salt and black pepper. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Sear pork on all sides until browned.
3. Place pork in oven and cook about 15 minutes, until center temperature is 145-155*. Meanwhile, place the same pan over high heat, add cider, vinegar and apple. Stir while scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Cook until mixture is reduced by 2/3, about 8 minutes. Remove the apples and add the thickener until it reaches desired thickness (note: Once the glaze cools completely it will be thicker than it is hot so keep that in mind while adding thickener) Reduce heat to medium, stir in maple syrup and remove from heat until pork is cooked.
4. When pork is ready, remove to a cutting board to rest about 5 minutes. This is important to keep the moisture and juiciness of the meat. Warm the glaze over medium -high heat. Cut pork into slices and place in the glaze, turning to coat completely. Serve with rice or other starch and enjoy!
