My husband and I love having pork tenderloin for dinner. It is so easy to prepare and always turns out so moist and flavorful. This recipe for Saucy Pork Tenderloin is one of our favorites. The honey-mustard applesauce topping is what really makes this dish special. It is sweet, tangy, and savory all at the same time.
To make this recipe, you will need the following ingredients: pork tenderloin, salt, pepper, vegetable oil, dijon mustard, honey, applesauce, fresh basil, and fresh rosemary. First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Then, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the pork tenderloin with salt and pepper. Brown the pork tenderloin on all sides in the hot oil. Once the pork is browned, transfer it to a roasting pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together the applesauce, mustard, and honey. Pour the sauce over the pork tenderloin. Arrange the basil and rosemary sprigs on top of the pork tenderloin. Bake the pork tenderloin in the preheated oven for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Let the pork tenderloin rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
