Pork Tenderloin with Savory Apple Gravy

April 12, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 20 Comments

Hi Everyone,

I know most people do not take pictures of their meals, but being a food blogger it’s a must and today’s recipe is one of those ahhhhhhh, I want to scream because my pictures are not coming out.  Let me explain.  I have made this recipe every week for three weeks in a row, not because I wanted a good picture, well of course I did, but it’s because my Husband has requested it every week.  Yes every week, it’s the same dish!  I made this three weeks ago and it was a wonderful meal, turned out perfect, but the pictures did not!  They turned out yellow looking and this dish does not look good yellow.  So I moved on, and then the following week, I thought, I’ll give it one more try since my Husband really loved it.  Yes loved it!  So I took more pictures and they turned out gray, which is worse than yellow.  What the heck?  Then this week my Husband asked are you going to make your Pork in a Crockpot again?  I said NO!!  I am done trying to take pictures of this meal.  My Husband said with a smile, it’s so good, you don’t need pictures, just post the recipe.  What?  No picture?  Really?  He said yup, I love it and it needs to be shared.  So I did my best to give you pictures and yes these ones, turned out better, but still not great!  I don’t like taking pictures of meat dishes!

Pork Tenderloin with Savory Apple Gravy

Let’s discuss the meal and no more picture talk!  Oh, I never gave you the name of my dish, it’s Pork Tenderloin with Savory Apple Gravy and it’s probably one of the easiest Crockpot meals I have ever made!  It takes less than 5 minutes to throw together, nice for when you’re rushing in the morning.   The pork is so tender, juicy and reminds me of a meal my Grandmother would make.  My Husband thinks it tastes like roast beef.  I think it tastes like pork, but he is a beef eater and if he think it tastes like beef, so be it.  It’s made with a pork tenderloin, chicken stock, apple juice, thyme and dijon mustard.  That’s it!  But what really gives this meal the ultimate taste is the gravy I pour over my ohhh so tender pork.

Pork Tenderloin with Savory Apple Gravy To make the gravy, I took my pork out of the Crockpot and covered it with foil to keep it warm and poured all of the juices into a pan and added some cornstarch and water to it to make it thick.  Within a few minutes I had the most thick, creamy gravy ever.  I’m pretty proud that I can make gravy now, because in my younger years I couldn’t make gravy if my life depended on it.  I guess all you need is a little patience.


Pork Tenderloin with Savory Apple Gravy

As I said before this is one of my Husbands favorite dishes.  He doesn’t brag too much about what I cook, because everything is pretty healthy, but this is one dish that he does brag about, which makes me smile.  I told him if these pictures don’t turn out, I am never making this again.   You should have seen his face.  It was sad!  lol  I know I shouldn’t laugh, but I am so flattered that he likes it so much!

I normally make it with mashed potatoes, so my Hubby can pour the gravy over it, but I decided to make it with red potatoes, which he still poured the gravy over.  I actually cooked these potatoes in the microwave.  I poked holes in them, put them into a microwave safe bowl, added some water and covered it and cooked them for 5 minutes.  Flipped the potatoes and cook for 5 more minutes.  They turned out perfect!  No one would know they were made in the microwave.  Just another way to make this meal quick.  Plus as another side dish, I also microwaved some beans.   I do have to tell you, I took my 4 ounces of meat, one potato and ate most of the beans, my Husband ate the rest!  Yes he ate almost a pound of potatoes and a almost a pound of pork.  See what I mean, he really likes this meal!  Plus it probably helped that all he had to ate today was a banana, KIND bar and Mini Blueberry Orange Muffins that I made.  How does a person who has a physical job just eat that?  I would be one crabby person!!  if i don’t have food I am mean!!

Prk Tenderloin with Savory Apple Gravy

I have to laugh, the description of the meal in the summary of my recipe is my Husbands.  I think this is the first time he ever participated in a blog I was writing.  I’m really glad he liked this dish and if you’re a pork fan, I think you will like it too!  However if you like roast beef, you may like it to, because I my Husband swears it tastes like roast beef.  You be the judge of it!  Either way it tastes good!  Oh and if you have leftovers, it’s amazing made as a sandwich, drizzle some BBQ sauce over the pork, top with fresh sliced apples and cheese.  Grill it in a Panini maker or cook in a skillet.  Oh man, it’s good!  I have done that with leftovers from the previous weeks.

I am posting the picture from the first time I made this dish three wekes ago, I had with sweet potatoes and applesauce.  It’s the only decent picture I got and it’s a close up of the pork.

Have a great day and I just realized it’s Friday!  Woohoo!!!!  Have a great weekend!!  No a super great weekend!!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    I love this, Jennifer!! I can see why this is your husband’s favourite, mine would love it too! I love cooking potatoes in the microwave sometimes, so handy. I’ll have to try this, I’ve never put pork tenderloin in the slow cooker but I bet it just melts in your mouth!

    There isn’t such a thing as a pork tenderloin “roast.” So I bought a pork loin roast. It has a layer of fat that a tenderloin wouldn’t have had. Should I remove that layer and should I adjust the cooking time? I’ve got it set to 8hrs on low right now. Thanks!!

      Huh, I swear mine is called pork tenderloin roast, I’ll check when I get home. Anyway, I would remove some of the fat, if you can. Setting for 8 hours is perfect!

    What seasoning do you recommend for the red potatoes?

      February 19, 2014 at 6:15 PM

      I hate to say it, but I used a little salt, pepper and a pinch of garlic. Pretty basic, but that’s how I like the potatoes. Plus if you make this recipe, you can use the gravy over the potatoes. 🙂

        The red potatoes in your picture show something sprinkled over them. Is that parsley?

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target.

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
