Apple Stuffed Pork Loin

April 12, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 17 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I’m just sitting back relaxing, drinking my decaf latte as I let me dinner settle in my belly, debating do I want to share tonight’s dinner with you?  Well that’s a silly thought because you know I do.  If it’s food related I am up for sharing!

I made for the first time ever stuffed Pork Loins.  I have made so many variety of pork chops, pork loins, pork tenderloin, but for some odd reason I never made stuffed ones.  How crazy is that?  All I can say is it’s easy and I can see why people love stuffed pork chops.  Now that I got the hang of it I can’t wait to stuff it with other goodies, but I am not sure if I will be able to top tonight’s pork loin.


See their’s one food combination that I really, really, really love and that’s apples and onions together.  My friends think it is weird, I think it’s great!  Don’t you think cooked apples and onions go together?  My friends here in California think it must be an east coast thing because they never heard of the combination and I offer them a bite and they turn their heads with that ewww look on there face.  Really?  I just don’t get it?  My family likes onions and apples, but my Husband thinks sometimes I go a little overboard with it.  I have even stuffed Turkey on Thanksgiving with it.  I love it!!  So what do you think of the combo?  I am curious to know.

Now the calories may seem a little high on this, but it’s only because I got 3 pork loins in the package, which was over a lbs. worth, I could have cut them in half, but I didn’t want to.  Sometimes you just need to eat it and enjoy it!  It’s healthy, just a lot of it and yes I ate it all up and I’m proud of it.  To make up for it, I just cut back on my dinner carbs.  🙂

Here’s a picture, just as I was getting ready to sear the pork.  I’m showing you this so you can see how I stuffed them.

To stuff them, I just took my knife and cut through the thickest part of the pork, but I was very careful not to cut all the way through. The pork was simple to cut, it took like a minute to cut all three pieces.   If you happen to over stuff your pork loin, just use a toothpick to seal it closed.

I should give you a brief description of this fabulous stuffed pork chops, it’s sweet and savory.  The onions and apples are so tender and adding the apple cider to it, gave it a wonderful slight cinnamony flavor, not to mention it really added a nice glaze to the pork.  The dish reminds me of fall meal.  The pork was very tender to, easy to cut and not chewy at all. This is one dish that will make my meal rotations.  I’m very proud of my first stuffed pork loin.  🙂

Here they are fresh out of the oven.   The pan is not going to be fun to clean.

Cook time
45 mins
Total time
50 mins
 
Serves: 3 - 6.6 pork loins
Ingredients
  • 20 oz Pork Loin, thick cut (3 pieces)
  • ½ Tbsp. butter (I used Brumble & Brown)
  • ½ cup (150 grams) apples, peeled, diced into bite size pieces
  • ¼ cup onion, diced small
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. pepper
  • ½ cup apple cider or juice, divided
  • 1 tsp. brown sugar
  • sprinkle of Parsley (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  2. Cut a pocket into the thickest part of the pork, be careful not to cut all the way through. Season the inside with salt & pepper, set a side
  3. In an oven proof skillet, add butter, apples, onions and salt & pepper. Cook until tender (about 5 minutes), add ¼ cup of apple cider and brown sugar. Stir until and most of the juice is evaporated.
  4. Add apple mixture into the pocket of each pork loin. If you have left over, just leave it in the skillet.
  5. Add Pork to skillet and brown on all sides.
  6. Add remaining ¼ cup apple cider and bake in oven for 30 minutes, flipping the pork half way through cooking until pork is no longer pink.
  7. For decoration I added a sprinkle of parsley over the top of my pork.

I better go scrub that pan, that is not going to be fun!  Do I have any volunteers?  Well at least I’ll get some arm exercises in.

Don’t forget to enter my Trader Joe’s giveaway!  There is only a few days left!!

Have a lovely day my Darlings!!

    That is some serious goodness! I am not a big pork fan, but when it comes stuffed with apples… I am all over it! I usually serve my pork with microwaved ‘baked’ apple slices.
    Going to try this one on my family next week. Thanks, Jennifer!

    Looks fab, right after you pull those from the pan, deglaze. A little white wine will work good, but, even water will work if done while hot. Then, when you do get to it, it’s much easier.

      I think on this recipe I used honeycrisp or a gala. Any semi-firm apple will do. Use your favorite. Let me know how it turns out for you.

Hello Tuesday! We’ve had some nice weather this Hello Tuesday!  We’ve had some nice weather this week. It must have hit 70 yesterday. I’ll enjoy it while I can. Next week it’s supposed to back in the 50’s with chance of rain. Well at least I won’t have to worry about watering my garden.
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my Easter tablescapes. I wanted to go simple. I feel when there’s too much on the table, you have a hard time seeing the people across from you. Plus my table is only 5’ long, so I don’t have a lot of space.
🐰
I’m loving the blues and greens. It’s such a pretty color for Spring. I had a whole blue tablescape idea in my mind, but I’m having problems finding pieces that I like. I sure miss Pier1. That was my go to place for table setting decor.
🐰
What are your favorite colors for Spring?

I sure had a busy weekend. We had 5 yards of top soil delivered and my husband wheel barreled it all to the backyard. My new garden bed is just about ready for planting. I’m so excited!
🌸
Yesterday I worked on a bunch of photos to share this week. I must have formatted over a 100 pictures. No, I won’t be sharing that many. It’s just hard to find the right one. I’m sure you know what I mean.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my top 4 photos for the month of February.  I can’t wait to see what is in store for March, because I have no idea. Lol
🌸
What are you looking most forward to this month?

🌸
I’m sharing with you my floral arrangement that I shared in a reel Monday. I just love it so much. It’s going to be the centerpiece to my Spring dining table. So it’ll make an another appearance soon. If I ever finish my table.

I also have to share with you the cute bunnies that I bought from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage. I love them so much. The whitewash and flowers stole my heart. I just love bunnies. I may have gone bunny crazy this season.

Hi Everyone! The weather is starting to warm up h Hi Everyone!  The weather is starting to warm up here and I have Spring fever!  #sponsored I’ve been working in the garden beds, planting annuals and enjoying some fresh air and sunshine.
🌸
I freshened up my gorgeous patio set that I got from @rstbrands. I dressed up my table by adding some Ranunculus and a cute little bunny to a tray. Doesn’t scream Spring?
🌸
I also added some throw pillows and a cute blanket to keep you warm on a chilly evening. The Yuri 4 piece patio set is made out of certified eucalyptus wood has held up so beautifully with the heavy rains and winds.
🌸
I love the shade of blue of the cushions, it reminds me of the sunny blue skies. The cushions are also so comfortable to sit on. The best part is that the covers have zippers on them so you can take the covers off and wash them.
🌸
Spring fever is hitting me hard this year and I can’t wait to enjoy the great outdoors.
🌸
Do you get Spring fever?

I’m sharing with you my new dog bone container that I got from @outshine_co. Oh my gosh Sampson loves it! Mom, move out of the way, I’m taking over!!
🐶
Hi all! This is Sammy here! I just have to tell you my Mom now has no excuse not to have bones in the house anymore. This beautiful container hold 5 boxes of my favorite Trader Joe’s bones. My Mom also needs to know that carrots, celery or a piece of lettuce doesn’t cut it! Bones is what I must have!
🐶
The container is made of a nice heavy coated carbon steel and holds 12lbs or 54 cups of dog food and bones. 🤩Yes thank you! That is what I’m taking about. The only thing is, the lid is so well fitted and airtight that I can’t get my paws in it. What’s up with that? Not fair! I need access to bones at all times.
🐶
My Mom loves the container too because it looks pretty on her counter and even comes with a sticker that she can write my name on. I absolutely love this container! Thank you Outshine Co. for sending this to me, I mean my Mom.
🐶
Thank your for letting me take over! I miss and love you guys!  Love Sampson!

Happy Wednesday! Half way through the week. I’m Happy Wednesday!  Half way through the week. I’m sharing with you, possibly my last look of my living room in it’s winter decor. I am so ready to add some color.
🪴
Depending on what is going on this weekend, I hoping to go to Homegoods for maybe a new blanket and some pillows. The only thing what color? I’m almost gravitating towards pink?
🪴
Though, yellow may look nice with the green plants. However, I do have so many pillows. Maybe I should look for pillow covers? Less storage. Pillows take up so much room. Oh the decisions.
🪴
I’ve seen some of you share pillow covers from Hobby Lobby. I’ve never seen them at my store, but I’ll do a search when I’m there? I guess that means I’m hitting up Hobby Lobby too. 😂
🪴
Instead of my daily question, I just want to wish and hope everyone is safe with this crazy weather.

🐰
Now that Valentines is over, it’s officially time for spring, at least in my mind. The weather may say otherwise, but I’ve been craving spring colors in my home. I went pretty neutral in my living room for winter, but I think I’m going to add some pastels. Now what color to add?
🐰
Last year if you followed me, I spent months trying to decide on what color to use. Ugh, I think I’m in the same boat again this year. I like yellows because it’s a happy color, but I also like pinks and blues. Oh the decisions.
🐰
I haven’t seem to much inspiration in the stores, though Target seems to have yellows and corals, plus a lot of neutrals. I’m seeing a lot of boho and woods. I do like woods with greenery.
🐰
What color doing you like to use in your home for Spring?

Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bi Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bit of rough day in my house. Woke up to see my sweet Sampson wasn’t feeling well.  He was just laying around, didn’t get up to greet me, and the biggest sign was he didn’t ask for a bone. You know how he’s obsessed with bones.
🐶
Around 9am he perked up and asked for a bone and wanted to go outside to snoop around. He seems to be better, but is still kind of laying around. I just hope he will be okay. He’s 11, and I get so worried. He’s my child.
🐶
I’m sharing with you my pretty tulips from Trader Joe’s. They have such a great selection of tulips in array of colors. Though I didn’t see any roses, which is strange. We do not have any plans for the weekend, that I know of, but we have the tendency to wing it.  I’ll keep you posted. Hope you have a wonderful Valentines weekend!

Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most likely be heading to Trader Joe’s and I have to get my husband a Valentines gift. I would get him his favorite, chocolate, but he bought himself a ton of chocolate last weekend, so I’ll have to think of something else. Maybe he’ll like flowers from Trader Joe’s? Lol
🌸
Speaking of flowers, check out my new, gorgeous marble and wood cutting board that I got from my friend Brantley from @thesassyoak. I love the engraved flowers in it. It is so pretty.
🌸
The cutting board is her newest item at her Etsy shop. She engraves different items, like your name, but for me it is flowers. I’ll always keep the cutting board displayed. I think it is far to pretty to use. I’m afraid someone would scratch it.
🌸
Do you use cutting boards or just use them as display?
