Spiced Apple Pork Tenderloin

This recipe merges the fall flavors of apple with the rich taste of pork tenderloin.  A warm, tasty main dish for a chilly September night.

Ingredients

• ¾ teaspoon poultry seasoning
• ½ teaspoon garlic salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 pork tenderloin (1 lb)
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 medium tart apple (sliced)
• 1 tbsp canola oil
• ½ cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
• ½ cup white wine or additional broth
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 3 tbsp thawed apple juice concentrate
• Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

1. First, mix the poultry seasoning, garlic salt, pepper, ground nutmeg, and salt.
2. Cut tenderloin crosswise into 8 slices: pound each with a meat mallet to 1/2-in. thickness. Sprinkle pork with seasoning mixture.
3. In a large nonstick skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add apple; cook and stir for 3-4 minutes, until crisp-tender. Remove from pan.
4. In same pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown pork on both sides; remove from pan.
5. Add broth and wine to pan, stirring to loosen browned bits. Mix cornstarch and apple juice concentrate until smooth; stir into broth mixture. Return to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes.
6. Return pork and apple to pan. Reduce heat to medium; cook, covered, until a thermometer inserted in pork reads 145°, about 3 to 5 minutes.
7. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
8. Sprinkle with parsley and serve!
