This recipe was featured in our newspaper a while back. I have had the worst luck recently with pork being too dry. This recipe took care of that. Wow. So tender, juicy, and yummy.

Steps

1

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place oven rack in center of oven. Using a sharp knife, cut a diamond shaped pattern in the top layer of roast; do not cut deeply into the meat.
2

In a small bowl, combine the bourbon, mustard, honey, sugar, Sriracha, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; mix well. Rub over all sides of roast; set aside.
3

Heat oil in Dutch oven on medium heat.
4

Add onions and apples; season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring regularly for 10 minutes or until onions and apples are softened.
5

Arrange pork loin on top of apples and onions. The recipe calls to roast this uncovered for 45-55 minutes but I covered and roasted 45-55 minutes, then uncovered and continued roasting until temp was 135 degrees, this took my oven 75 minutes total.
6

Remove from oven; rest 5-10 minutes before slicing.
7

Serve with the apples, onions, and pan juices.
