My husband and I loved this entree and would highly recommend it! I substituted Bone-In Pork Shoulder Spare Rib meat and Yukon Gold Potatoes (what I had on hand) and found it to be delicious! The funny thing is...I'm not even a big pork fan by nature. L&M from MN
Very satisfying and easy to make.
OMG this was soooo good. Leftovers were good too. I made some changes only because I bought a 3.8 pound top pork loin on sale for 8 instead of the 1.9 pound pork tenderloin for 16. So I had to go to my good old Betty Crocker cookbook and to the internet to get cooking times. Did all of the ingredients the same except left off garlic and doubled all the ingredients and increased apple cider to 2 cups. I did the rub ahead of time because I was home anyway and let it sit under a blanket of plastic rap for 4 hours before cooking. Betty Crocker said to cook Top Pork Loin at 325 for 30-40 mins per pound to get internal temp of 170. I cooked it for a total of about 2 hours at 350 with just the cider mix (no sweets or apples). Also had to look up Sweet Potatos = 350 degrees for about an hour. So added them after Pork loin cooked for one hour. And I looked up Apples = 350 for about 15 minutes (I did smaller slices - like 8/apple). Even though I did over cook it a smidge when I made the first cut liquid squirted out and I knew it would be juicy and tender which it was. For leftovers we put potoatoes/apples/juice in sauce pan on low. And my husband dabbed some of the juice on the pork slices and put brown sugar/ginger mix on each side. He cooked them separately in the oven on stoneware plate at 350 for about 7 minutes then broiled at 500 until a little bubbly - a couple minutes.
I liked the seasonings very much but while the sweet potatoes cooked to perfection the apples were mushy. I would recommend making sure you use a firm apple like Granny Smith or Pippin.
Made this for 4 diners using pasture-raised pork tenderloin and we all loved it. Did not have any masala so left it out. So good!
I thought this recipe was great! So did my husband.I cut the recipe in half because it was just for my husband and me. That shortened the cooking time to about 28 minutes all together so I found I had to cook the apples and sweet potato a little ahead of time so they would be done.
I forgot to get apple cider vinegar when I made this, but it was still delicious.
Strong cumin taste. I will probably omit the garam masala next time. Apples & sweet potatoes were perfect.
I followed the recipe exactly. It tasted good but it was dry. There was no extra sauce to cook on the stovetop. Next time I make it I will use more apples.
