Pork tenderloin is the perfect choice for a quick and delicious dinner. It's roasted whole and hassle-free: rub with spices and place in a hot pan. The key is to ensure this lean cut doesn't overcook and remains juicy and tender inside. Pork tenderloin pairs beautifully with fruit. Instead of a more traditional salad, serve baked sweet and sour apples with the meat for a more sophisticated flavor. And use the savory juices left in the pan to make a tart and spicy apple sauce for the pork. Serve the sliced ​​tenderloin and baked apples with cooked barley.



The recipes use measuring containers with the following volumes:
1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.

  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 baking apples (such as Macintosh)
  • 1.5 tbsp unsalted butter

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Season the pork with pumpkin pie spice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper to taste. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning, until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes.
  2. Halve and core the apples. Cut 1/2 tablespoon of butter into quarters; place a piece of butter in each apple half. Sprinkle with half the shallot and a pinch of salt. Place the apples cut-side up in the skillet with the pork and place in the oven. Bake until a meat thermometer reads 145°F (63°C), about 25 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, combine 1 3/4 cups water, the remaining shallots, and a pinch of salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Add the barley, cover, and simmer until the water is absorbed, 12 minutes. Stir in the parsley.
  4. Transfer the pork tenderloin and apples to a cutting board. Return the skillet to medium heat and add the apple cider, vinegar, and 1/4 cup water; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Slice the pork and serve with the pan sauce, apples, and barley.
