Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb pork tenderloin
• 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 apples, peeled and diced
• 1/2 cup onion, chopped
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 cup raisins (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper if using.
3. Rub the pork tenderloin with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
4. Sear the pork in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
5. Brush the maple glaze generously over the pork and transfer to the oven.
6. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
7. While the pork is cooking, prepare the apple chutney: In a medium saucepan, combine the diced apples, onion, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and raisins if using.
8. Simmer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the apples are soft and the mixture thickens.
9. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
10. Serve the sliced pork tenderloin drizzled with remaining maple glaze and alongside the apple chutney. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip: Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes after cooking to retain its juices before slicing.

To ensure perfect crispiness, sear the pork on high heat before finishing it in the oven. If you want to spice things up, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the maple glaze for an extra kick.

For the apple chutney, feel free to substitute with pears or peaches if desired. This dish stores well in the fridge for up to three days and can be reheated in the oven to maintain its crispy texture.
