@daffl.xyz

A garlic-and-rosemary marinated pork loin roast served with warm homemade cinnamon applesauce.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 4 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 4 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
  • 2 teaspoons pepper
  • 1 boneless pork loin roast (2 to 3 pounds), halved
  • For the applesauce: 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • For the applesauce: 6 medium Golden Delicious apples, peeled and chopped (about 5 cups)
  • For the applesauce: 1 to 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • For the applesauce: 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • For the applesauce: 1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • For the applesauce: 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • For the applesauce: 1 cup water

Instructions

  1. 1
    In a large shallow dish, combine the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, rosemary, and pepper. Add the pork and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
  2. 2
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the pork roast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, fat side up. Roast until a thermometer reads 145 degrees F, 55-65 minutes.
  3. 3
    Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, rosemary, and salt; cook until the apples are tender, 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. 4
    Stir in the water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the apples are very soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and mash the apples to the desired consistency.
  5. 5
    Remove the roast from the oven and tent with foil. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the warm applesauce.
