Stuffed Pork Tenderloin with Apples & Sage

Tender pork wrapped around a seasonal stuffing of apples, herbs, and breadcrumbs—a savory-sweet, aromatic main that’s comforting and elegant.

Ingredients: (Serves 6)

• 2 pork tenderloins (about 1.5 lb total)

• 1 medium apple (Honeycrisp), diced small

• ½ cup breadcrumbs (fresh or panko)

• 2 tablespoons fresh sage, finely chopped

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

• Salt and pepper

Instructions:

1. Prep the stuffing
   In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced apple, sauté for 3 minutes. Stir in breadcrumbs and sage for another 2–3 minutes until lightly toasted. Remove from heat.

2. Butterfly the pork
   Place tenderloins on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice lengthwise, creating a flap—open it like a book and pound gently to ½-inch thickness.

3. Assemble and tie
   Season inside with salt and pepper. Spread apple-sage stuffing evenly, then roll tightly. Secure with kitchen twine every inch or two.

4. Roast to perfection
   Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place tenderloins on a lined baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, until internal temp reaches 145°F. Remove and rest 10 minutes before slicing.

5. Slice and serve
   Slice into medallions, presenting stuffing-soaked centers with a savory aroma.
