Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Apple Butter Balsamic Glaze
Pork tenderloin has been fairly priced lately, and since it's just the two of us in the house now, a small tenderloin was a perfect size....and we used our air fryer instead of the oven. I adapted this recipe from smartsavvyliving.com and air fried it for 20-25 minutes at 390 degrees. Here are the oven instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 375°F.
-
Line a 9 x 13 or half sheet baking pan with parchment paper or foil, or spray with non-stick spray.
-
In a small bowl, thoroughly mix together ½ cup original Adams Apple Butter and ¼ cup balsamic vinegar. Set aside.
-
Open the package of pork, rinse tenderloins if desired, and pat dry.
-
Season all sides of pork with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Brush or spoon balsamic apple butter glaze over all sides of the pork, trying to glaze them as evenly as possible. Keep about 4 tablespoons set aside to baste with later.
-
Keep the fattier side of the pork up so it can self-baste while cooking. Place pork in the oven (or air fryer for lesser time) and roast for 25 - 35 minutes, depending on the size of the tenderloins, or until they have an internal temperature of at least 145°F. About halfway through cooking, baste the pork with the remaining glaze.
-
Remove pork from oven, loosely cover in foil, and let rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing to allow juices to settle. Cut into even slices, spooning pan juices over the top if desired, and serve.
