- Place on the baking sheet and brush the top and sides of the pork with 2 teaspoons of the mustard.
- Roast until the cabbage is tender and the internal temperature of the pork registers 145 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Transfer the pork to a cutting board to rest for a few minutes and then slice.
- Toss the parsley with the cabbage.
- Toss the apples with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice.
