Dinnertime With Bacon Wrapped Apple Stuffed Pork Loin

So now that we have the kitchen back I was more than ready to give a new recipe a whirl. I had bought a pork tenderloin a while back and really wanted to find a recipe that would make it taste good coming from the oven, I hunted around and this is what I went with. Add it to some garlic mashed potatoes and greed beans and it was the perfect way to round out the weekend and welcome back our kitchen. N and I both gave it a YUM!

APPLE STUFFED PORK LOIN

1 1/2 lbs. boneless pork loin
1 tsp. salt
Dash of ground ginger
Dash of ground cloves

STUFFING:
2 green onions, chopped fine
2 green apples, grated or chopped
2 tbsp. soft butter
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tbsp. mustard

Mix all ingredients for stuffing and set aside.

Make slits in loin, deep enough for filling. Rub pork loin with salt, ginger and cloves. Place loin in roasting pan and spoon stuffing into pockets in loin. Place rest of stuffing around loin. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours or until pork is done. Let stand 15 minutes covered with foil before slicing.

Optional: After slicing, garnish with sauteed apples, spoon pan juices over slices with extra stuffing. Instead of that I wrapped the entire loin with maple bacon then covered with the remaining stuffing.

Enjoy!
