Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 medium red cooking apples, sliced (about 2 cups)
  • 2 medium dark-orange sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 2 1/2 cups)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 2 pork tenderloins (1 lb each)

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 425°F. In medium bowl, mix brown sugar, butter, vinegar, salt, garlic powder and pepper. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture. Add apples, sweet potatoes and onion to remaining butter mixture; toss to coat. Arrange apple mixture in roasting pan or 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and bake 20 minutes.

    Meanwhile, brush pork with reserved butter mixture. Heat 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Cook pork in skillet about 3 minutes, turning to brown all sides evenly.
  • 3
    Place pork on apple mixture. Bake uncovered 30 to 40 minutes or until pork has slight blush of pink in center and meat thermometer inserted in center reads 160°F.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Be sure to use pork tenderloins--not pork loins--in this recipe. Pork loins are much larger and less tender.
  • tip 2
    All this meal needs to be complete is coleslaw from the deli or a tossed salad with blue cheese dressing.
