Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3-4 pound boneless pork loin roast
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 yellow onion large chop
  • 2 Granny Smith apples cored and cut into chunks
  • ½ cup chicken broth

Gravy

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • cups chicken broth
  • Salt & black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Score the pork fat with a sharp knife, making an X pattern.
  • In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, olive oil, brown sugar, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Whisk to combine, then coat the entire pork loin with the mixture.
  • Place chopped onions and apples on the bottom of a roasting pan, pour in ½ cup chicken broth, and place the pork loin on top of the mixture with the fat cap facing up.
  • Roast the pork loin in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees. Then remove the pork from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board.

Gravy

  • Pour the pork drippings, apple chunks, and onion into a saucepan and mash the mixture together. Set over medium-low heat, then add butter, brown sugar, and whisk in flour. Continue cooking for two minutes, while whisking.
  • Slowly add chicken broth, while whisking, to ensure it fully incorporates. Then bring the gravy to a simmer. Once thickened, add salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Remove the gravy from the heat, and serve it over pork loin slices.
