This boneless pork loin recipe is a fantastic easy weeknight dinner that has apples and brie cheese with thyme leaves. All the flavours are roasted together in the oven for a fantastic ‘savoury meets sweet’ dinner.
The cheese and herbs bring this pork tenderloin with apples well on to the savoury side, and the apples deliver that touch of sweetness to complement the meat.
While rolling the tenderloin might look technical, it’s truly not. A lot of times the apples are chopped up and cooked down prior to stuffing the pork loin, however, I used bigger pieces of apple so their flavour could come through. The apple pieces are still softened by the cooking process, yet maintain their shape and great flavour during cooking.
I simply sliced the pork tenderloin almost all the way through at the halfway mark and then flattened it between two sheets of parchment paper. The flattening can be done with a frying pan or a meat mallet depending upon what type of cooking equipment you might have at home.
To roll the tenderloin, season the pork with salt and pepper then place the apples and cheese with some thyme leaves on one half of the tenderloin. Leave about a 1″ boarded to start rolling the tenderloin along the long edge.
Once rolled, use toothpicks or kitchen twine to ensure the pork tenderloin does not unravel during the cooking process.
This boneless pork loin recipe was cooked with sliced leeks, onion pieces, garlic cloves, and thyme in the baking tray. This is by no means necessary, but it does create some wonderful vegetables that pair well with the apple pork tenderloin.
Ambrosia Apples from BC Tree Fruits were used in this easy pork tenderloin recipe. They’re a perfect apple for snacking on (aka school lunchbox!) and using in baked dishes like this one (or maybe an Ambrosia Apple Pie?) and are crispy when bitten into while still being sweet. The features of an Ambrosia apple make them a great apple to have in the fridge for daily use.
Why BC Tree Fruits Apples? Their grower families depend on our natural resources and use growing methods that ensure the protection and longevity of these resources, which is why every BC Tree Fruits apple is conventionally and sustainably grown. By no means an easy feat and so when I buy apples, I look for the leaf to know I’m supporting local passionate growers. From apples to pears and peaches, I know I can trust the BC Tree Fruits sticker leaf for quality produce my family and I enjoy.
Apples are a staple in our house for snacks (we all have an apple a day, pretty much); we combine cheese or peanut butter with apple slices — my snack usually get confiscated by the kids pretty quickly since they’re such a tasty snack we all enjoy.
