Ingredients

• 2 pounds pork loin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 medium apples, cored and sliced (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)

How to Make Roasted Pork Loin with Apples and Raspberries

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, pepper, and chopped rosemary. Rub this mixture all over the pork loin to season it evenly.
3. Place the pork loin in a roasting pan. Arrange the sliced apples around the pork in the pan.
4. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the pork and apples, and sprinkle the brown sugar on top if using.
5. Roast the pork in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper cooking.
6. During the last 10 minutes of roasting, add the fresh raspberries to the pan. This will warm them without overcooking.
7. Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
8. Serve the sliced pork with the roasted apples and raspberries on the side.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, marinate the pork loin overnight with the seasoning mixture.
• Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking the pork; 145°F (63°C) is the perfect temperature for juicy pork.
• Feel free to experiment with different types of apples based on your taste preference.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the raspberries with other berries, such as blueberries or blackberries, for a different flavor profile.
• Add nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to the dish for added texture.
• Incorporate other herbs like thyme or sage for a unique twist on the seasoning.

What to Serve With It

• Creamy mashed potatoes or garlic mashed cauliflower
• A fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette
• Quinoa or couscous for a nutty side
• Roasted vegetables for added color and nutrition
