Instruções

Oven Baked

Turn the oven on to 375 F.

Peel and slice the apples and onions (apples not too thin, onions thinly sliced).

Mix the salt, pepper and ground cinnamon to create a seasoning.

Remove the silverskin from the pork tenderloin (see post for details) and season it liberally with salt, pepper and cinnamon.

Heat 1 tbsp of cooking oil in an appropriately sized skillet over medium high heat. Sear the seasoned pork on all sides, allow 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove it from the skillet and set aside.

Lower the heat to medium and add 2 tbsp of cooking oil to the skillet. Saute the onions until translucent (5 mins).

Add the apples, stir and saute for 2 mins. Add the cinnamon stick (if using) and sprinkle the brown sugar. Stir.

Pour the pumpkin ale or apple cider to deglaze the pan, stir for about 1 min and remove from heat.

Place the pork tenderloin in the center of the skillet and bake for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature measured in the center of the meat registers 140-145 F.

Take out of the oven and place the slices of butter over the apples. Let the pork rest for 3-5 mins while the butter is melting. Take the pork out and slice it and then either add it back to the skillet to serve family style or serve on individual plates with a drizzle of the skillet sauce and spoonful of the apples and onions.

Slow Cooker

Season and sear the pork tenderloin as described above. Place in the slow cooker.

Toss the sliced apples and onions in brown sugar and 1 tbsp of oil and surround the pork with them.

Add the pumpkin ale or apple cider/juice. Scatter the sliced butter around the pork.

Cook on high for 2 hrs or until the internal temperature registers 140-145 F. On slow allow up to 4 hours, more if your pork is larger.
