Description

This Apple Sage Stuffed Pork Tenderloin recipe combines tender pork with a flavorful filling of apples, onions, fresh sage, and warm cinnamon, creating a deliciously savory and slightly sweet main dish perfect for any occasion. The pork is seared for a golden crust and then roasted to juicy perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

Pork and Seasoning

  • 1 lb pork tenderloin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided

Stuffing

  • 1 apple, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh sage, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for roasting the pork tenderloin.
  2. Prepare Pork: Slice the pork tenderloin lengthwise to create a pocket for the stuffing, being careful not to cut all the way through the meat.
  3. Cook Onions: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add Apple and Seasonings: Stir in the diced apple, chopped fresh sage, and ground cinnamon. Cook the mixture for an additional 2 minutes until aromatic.
  5. Combine Stuffing: Mix in the breadcrumbs and chicken broth into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  6. Stuff Pork Tenderloin: Carefully fill the pocket in the pork tenderloin with the apple mixture, then secure the opening using toothpicks or kitchen twine to keep the stuffing inside.
  7. Sear Pork: In an oven-safe skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed tenderloin on all sides until it develops a golden brown crust.
  8. Roast Pork: Transfer the skillet with the seared pork into the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  9. Rest and Serve: Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before removing toothpicks or twine, slicing, and serving to allow juices to redistribute.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is perfectly cooked to 145°F (63°C) for juicy results.
  • If you don’t have fresh sage, dried sage can be used but reduce the amount by half as dried herbs are more potent.
  • The stuffing can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before assembling the pork.
  • Letting the pork rest after roasting helps retain its juices and improves flavor.
  • Ensure the pork tenderloin pocket is well sealed to prevent stuffing from leaking during cooking.
