Ingredients
  

2 lbs pork loin

3 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

2 apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and diced

1/2 cup maple syrup

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 cup water

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    In a small bowl, mix the chopped rosemary, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

      Rub the pork loin with the marinade, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature (or refrigerate for several hours for deeper flavor).

        Place the marinated pork loin in a roasting pan. Pour water around the pork to keep it moist during roasting.

          Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Baste the pork with the pan juices halfway through cooking.

            While the pork is roasting, prepare the maple apple sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced apples, maple syrup, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and a splash of water.

              Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and the mixture has thickened.

                Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

                  Serve the sliced pork loin drizzled with the warm maple apple sauce.
