Spiced Pork Tenderloin with Sauteed Apples

(modification of recipe originally from Cooking Light)

Serves 4

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Dash of ground nutmeg
  • 1 (1-pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed of excess fat and cut crosswise into 12 pieces
  • Cooking spray
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cups thinly sliced unpeeled Gala or Braeburn apple (about 2 medium apples)
  • 1/3 cup thinly sliced shallots
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ cup apple cider
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (recommend fresh and not substituting with less dried)

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.  Combine first five spices in a small bowl (salt through nutmeg); sprinkle spice mixture evenly over pork, gently patting surface to coat.  Coat skillet with cooking spray.  Add pork to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness.  Remove pork from pan; cover to keep warm.

Melt butter in skillet over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the pan.  Add apple slices, shallot and 1/8 teaspoon salt.  Cook 5-7 minutes or until apples start to brown, stirring occasionally.  Add apple cider to pan; cook 2 minutes or until apple slices are crisp-tender.  Stir in fresh thyme leaves.  Serve apple mixture with pork.
