👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Ensuring the oven is at the correct temperature before placing the dish inside helps with even cooking. - 2
In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the pork loin roast.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Massaging the spices into the meat ensures a flavorful crust. - 3
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the pork loin on all sides until nicely browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Searing locks in juices and adds depth of flavor. - 4
Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside. Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Arrange half of the apple rings in a single layer on the bottom of the skillet. Place the seared pork loin on top of the apples. Drizzle the honey over the pork. Arrange the remaining apple rings around and on top of the pork.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Placing apples beneath the pork allows them to absorb the pork juices. - 6
Pour the chicken or vegetable broth into the bottom of the skillet.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: The broth helps create steam and prevents the apples from drying out. - 7
Cover the skillet tightly with a lid or aluminum foil. Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Covering the dish steams the pork and apples, keeping them moist. - 8
Remove the lid or foil, and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 71°C (160°F) and the apples are tender and slightly caramelized.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Uncovering allows the top to brown and the apples to caramelize. - 9
Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Serve the sliced pork with the cooked apples and pan juices.
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Resting the meat allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
