Pork Tenderloin with Apples

Pork Tenderloin that is AMAZING and Simple!  Pork alone is great but a tenderloin is full of great flavor.  It’s even better when you add some Apples and Sage to a mix. 

How to make:

I came up with this recipe one random night after visiting an apple picking farm and having an overabundance of apples.   As usual I just started throwing things together starting with the rub.  I had been working on a Sausage recipe and had left over seasoning so I used it as a rub and from there my Sage Pork Rub was born!  I put the rub on the tenderloin, seared it, then cooked apples and onions in the leftover juices from searing .  Once the onions and apples are done cooking I add in some chicken broth to a bunch of delicious spices.  I added back in the Tenderloin, put a lid on it an  let it simmer for the next 45 minutes,

We had some extra quinoa in the fridge, which lets be honest, is very bland by itself and usually needs a little something extra to it, so I threw some of the juices from that the Tenderloin had cooked in onto the Quinoa… WOW it was amazing!!

What is great about this dish is that t doesn’t take long to prep, about 12 minutes, then it is a cook it and forget it type dish that only takes about 45 minutes to cook.  Just throw it in a pot on low, put on the lid and let the juices and heat do its work.  The apples are a great topping to your pork tenderloin adding a sweet flavorful taste to each bite.
