Sometimes I crave a good pork roast and since there are only two of the four of us that enjoy pork, I don’t get to make it often. That changed with this recipe – I will be making it when that craving hits. The pork tenderloin roasts to perfection, is moist, and so flavorful. Not to mention, those apples soak up the juices from the roast and the applesauce mixture. So good.
Easy enough for a weeknight meal and fancy enough for a holiday dinner.

What is the difference between using a pork butt roast and a pork tenderloin?
Pork butts being used in are generally used in the Instant Pot and Slow Cooker because they will cook down the fat and make the meat juicy and tender!
Pork tenderloin is a lean and tender cut of meat; it will take much less time to cook.
No matter the cut, be sure to cook pork to a safe internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
How to Make Easy One Skillet Pork Tenderloin with Rosemary and Apples
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a small bowl, combine the 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, 3 tablespoons raw honey, 2 tablespoons sugar-free Dijon mustard, and 3 tablespoons chopped rosemary. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons coconut oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Generously season the pork roast with salt and black pepper, to taste. Sear and brown roast on all sides, approximately 2 – 3 minutes per side.
Remove from heat and spread half of the applesauce mixture all over the top and sides of the pork.
Arrange the chopped apples around the sides of the pork and place in the pre-heated oven.
Roast for 20 minutes, then remove from oven and turn the pork over. Brush with remaining applesauce mixture and return to the oven for another 20-25 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through. Be sure to cook pork to a safe internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
Remove from oven and cover loosely to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
