Charlie's back on his we need to eat healthy thing. This is hard for me! I spent forever last week looking for healthy recipes that I thought sounded good and only came up with a few! I'm not sure that this recipe is actually healthy. The site claimed it was, but who knows. Either way it was yummy! We bought a huge jar of apple butter on our Honeymoon at the Mast General Store. If you ever go to Boone you should go to Mast. It really is a cool store! Our apartment smelled delicious between the apple and cinnamon. I'm so ready for fall!
Apple Butter Pork Loin
Source: All Recipes
1 Pork Loin (mine was 3 lbs)
seasoning salt
2 C apple juice
1/2 C apple butter
1/4 C brown sugar
2 T water
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
Preheat oven to 350°. Season the pork loin with seasoning salt. Place in a 9x13 baking dish or small roasting pan. Pour apple juice over the pork and cover.
Bake for 1 hour. While the pork is roasting, mix together the apple butter, brown sugar, water, cinnamon and cloves. After one hour, remove from oven and spread the mixture over the top.
Continue to bake until pork is done (165°). You need to cook 1/2 hour per pound of meat.
