Pork with Sweet Potatoes and Apples
Posted by in FoodI’m starting to think about fall food as the weather is beginning to change. This recipe was really easy to put together, but packed a lot of flavor. It cooks in under an hour, so it works even on a weeknight.
Pork with Sweet Potatoes and Apples
1 pork tenderloin
2 large apples, quartered
2 sweet potatoes, cut into 2-inch slices or chunks
2 large garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
1 small onion, peeled and thinly sliced
10 fresh sage leaves, roughly chopped
1 tbsp fresh thyme
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup apple cider
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Preheat oven to 400. Spray a roasting pan or glass baking pan (about 13×8) and place the pork tenderloin in it. Arrange the apples and sweet potatoes around the pork. Sprinkle the garlic, onions, sage, thyme, and salt and pepper over everything. Pour cider and vinegar into pan. Bake uncovered for about 45-50 minutes, until the pork is 140 degrees.
If you want to make gravy, remove pork and veggies from the pan and place the pan on a burner. Add 1 cup chicken broth and enough Wondra flour to thicken to your tastes (I like my gravy thick!) and cook over high, stirring or whisking constantly until it thickens.

I have been yearning for pork and I’m practically a vegetarian, so what’s that about? Fall, perhaps. This recipe looks perfect. Thanks!
Pork definitely feels like a fall thing to me too. I have a recipe for a spice-rubbed pork tenderloin that I always crave when the weather turns cool also.
This looks amazing. I always serve pork with apple sauce. I will have to try this next time!
Looks perfect for the cool weather coming to NY tomorrow!
Pork and apples are a favorite combination around here.
