Apple Stuffed Pork Loin Roast

R2Egg2Q

Found a recipe on the Food Network site and tweaked it a little.

Sautéed the granny smith apples, sweet yellow onion, and fresh sage:


Took a 6lb pork loin roast, butterflied it, and added the apples, onion, sage, and chicken broth soaked bread:


Tied it up with butcher's twine, seasoned the outside with some Oakridge Secret Weapon rub, and got it on the LBGE with some peach wood for smoke:


I had to take off to pick up a member of the family and left the cook in my wife's hands with some instructions on temps. I came home to a resting pork loin roast:


I sliced it up and Christmas Eve dinner was served:


Happy Holidays all!

Awesome man.

Just curious, how long and what temp? I know you had to leave before it was over thoigh.

That's exactly what I'm doing tomorrow. Well kinda it's 7.8 lbs bone in but I'm stuff it with an apple stuffing.

Thanks @MrCookingNurse !  It was done in an hour at 375 (temp the recipe called for).  It was actually a few degrees over the 145 target that I gave my wife but it still came out well.  I think next time I'd cook it closer to 350 as there were some fatty parts up top that burned a bit and I suspect that it was due to the fairly high sugar content in the rub I used.

Brother that is a winner in my book. Stuffed tenderloin happens to be one of my favorites. Outstanding job!!

That looks really good. How tart were those apples and did they stay that way. Sounds really good.

Thanks! Granny smith apples are pretty tart but they didn't taste tart after cooking.  I will use them again the next time I make this.

That looks awesome man. I need to get off my ass and try stuffing a loin.

Magnificent. Two thumbs up :-bd

Thanks for sharing. I like the idea of the apple stuffing. Don't forget you can always use bacon to help protect the loin.
