• 2 pork tenderloin 12-ounce
• 1/2 cup flour
• 2 teaspoons all purpose seasoning Alpine Touch
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 shallots medium, peeled and finely minced
• 1/3 cup calvados apple brandy OR apple cider
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1/4 cup apple cider
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 granny smith apple large, OR Pippin apple, peeled, cored and chopped
• 1 white onion small, peeled and chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons calvados apple brandy or apple cider
• 1 tablespoon cold water
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• salt optional
• pepper optional

1. Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Combine flour and all-purpose seasoning in pie plate. Coat tenderloins with flour mixture; shake off excess flour and set aside.
2. Melt 1 tablespoon oil in Dutch oven or large, heavy oven-safe skillet (if you do not have a Dutch oven or oven-safe skillet, sear the tenderloin in a large heavy skillet, then transfer the tenderloin to a baking pan), sear pork over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes or until all sides are lightly brown. Transfer tenderloin to a platter. Repeat with remaining oil and tenderloin. Set tenderloins aside.
3. Return pan or skillet to medium heat. Add 2 Tbs butter and shallots; cook for one minute until shallots are fragrant. Remove pan or skillet from heat; stir in 1/3 cup Calvados and add 2 springs thyme. Return pan or skillet to heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and simmer for two minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup apple cider.
4. Return pork to pan or skillet (turning a couple of times to glaze with Calvados mixture) and roast in oven, uncovered, for 20 to 25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145 degrees F, followed by a 3-minute rest time. While cooking, turn the tenderloins a couple of times to ensure even roasting.
5. Transfer to a heated platter and tent with foil. Place Dutch oven or skillet back onto stovetop over medium heat and melt 2 Tbs butter. Add apples and onion, scraping off browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp pepper and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Spoon onto a plate and once again return pan or skillet to stove.
6. Add chicken stock and bring to a boil along with 4 sprigs thyme and 2 Tbs Calvados. Cook for 3-4 minutes until reduced by a third or to 2/3 cup. Remove thyme. Mix together with 1 Tbs water and 1 Tbs cornstarch and slowly whisk into gravy. Slowly stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream; cook and stir over medium-low heat for 1 minute. Add apple/onion mixture; cook and stir for 1 minute more. Season with salt and pepper or additional seasoning salt, if desired.
