Cranberry Apple Pork Loin
Ingredients
  • 1 cup chicken flavored dry stuffing mix
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup chopped apple
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/3 cup chopped toasted pecans
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 (3 pound) boneless pork loin roast
  • salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1
First, preheat the oven to its optimal temperature of 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius).
2
Next, spray a roasting pan with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy food release.
3
Combine the stuffing mix and water in a bowl, stirring until well combined. Add diced apple, cranberries, chopped pecans, and sautéed onion to the mixture; set it aside for later use.
4
Remove any excess fat and silver skin from the pork loin, then cut it horizontally through the middle to a depth of half an inch. Open both sides and flatten them slightly, much like opening a book.
5
Place the pork loin between two sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap or resealable freezer bags on a stable, flat surface. Using the smooth side of a meat mallet, gently pound the pork loin to an even thickness of half an inch.
6
Sprinkle both sides of the pork loin with salt and black pepper, then spread the reserved stuffing mixture evenly onto one side. Roll the pork loin into a tight cylinder and secure it with kitchen twine.
7
Carefully place the rolled pork loin in the prepared roasting pan, ensuring it is centered and secure.
8
Bake the pork loin in the preheated oven until it reaches a safe internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius), which should take approximately one hour. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature.
9
Once cooked, cover the pork loin with two layers of aluminum foil and let it rest in a warm environment for 10 minutes. Remove the kitchen twine before slicing and serving the pork loin.
