  12. 2Gala or Fuji apples, unpeeled, cored and cut into 6 pieces each

Cooking Instructions

  1. 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. 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. 3

    Heat oil in Dutch oven on medium heat.

  4. 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. 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. 6

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

  7. 7

    Serve with the apples, onions, and pan juices.
