Roast Pork Tenderloin with Apples and Cider Sauce
- 2 (3/4-pound) pork tenderloins
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
- 2 (1/2-pound) Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and each cut into 16 wedges
- 1 cup low-sodium fat-free chicken broth
- 2/3 cup unfiltered apple cider
- 1/2 teaspoon arrowroot
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 teaspoons cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Pat tenderloins dry and season with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown tenderloins on all sides, turning with tongs, about 5 minutes total.
- (If the handle of your skillet is not ovenproof, wrap handle in a triple layer of foil, shiny side out.)
- Transfer skillet to upper third of oven and roast until a thermometer inserted diagonally into center of meat registers 155F, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Transfer to a platter and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 15 minutes before slicing.
- While meat is standing, heat butter in same skillet (handle will be hot) over moderately high heat until foam subsides.
- Add apple wedges and saute, turning occasionally, until tender and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Transfer apples to a plate, then add chicken broth and cider to skillet.
- Bring to a boil over high heat and meanwhile whisk together arrowroot and water in a small bowl.
- Whisk arrowroot mixture into sauce and boil until thickened and reduced to about 1 cup, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in vinegar, measured salt and pepper, and any juices that have accumulated on platter.
- Cut meat into 1/2-inch-thick slices and serve topped with apples and sauce.
