Pork Tenderloin with Apple Cider Glaze
Tender pork tenderloin coated in a sweet and tangy apple cider glaze, creating a perfect balance of flavors.
Equipment
- 1 Baking sheet
- 1 Saucepan
Ingredients
- 1 pork tenderloin - about 1.5 lbs
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup apple cider
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper.
- Roast the pork in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- In a saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, apple cider, brown sugar, mustard, and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced and slightly thickened, about 8-10 minutes.
- Brush the apple cider glaze over the cooked pork tenderloin and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
- Let the pork rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with additional glaze on the side.
Notes
For a smoky flavor, try grilling the pork tenderloin instead of roasting it.
Ensure to baste the pork with the apple cider glaze regularly for a more intense flavor.
