I emjoy experimenting with recipes and that's how I came up with this one. I was hosting my book club and wanted to make something different. Apples and brown sugar go well together and mustard goes well with pork so I gave it a try. It was a big hit! Everyone wanted the recipe.
Ingredients:
4 tbsp FRENCH'S® Classic Yellow® Mustard
2 cup Soft bread crumbs
1 cup Shredded tart apple (jonathan)
1/2 cup Packed brown sugar
1 lb Pork tenderloin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a large bowl combine apple, brown sugar, bread crumbs and French's Prepared Mustard.
Cut a lengthwise slit down the center of the tenderloin to within 1/2" of the bottom. Open the tenderloin so it lies flat and cover with plastic wrap. Flatten to 3/4" thickness; remove plastic. Spread apple mixture to within 1/2" of ends. Close tenderloins; ties several times with kitchen string and secure with toothpicks.
Place in a shallow roasting pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Bake, uncovered, at 400 for 20 to 30 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160 degrees.
This can easily be doubled by preparing 2 tenderloins and doubling the stuffing recipe.
