Ingredients

  • 1 (3-pound) boneless pork loin roast
  • 2 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Butterfly the pork loin by making a long horizontal cut through the center, without cutting all the way through. Open the pork loin like a book.
  3. In a bowl, combine the chopped apples, walnuts, onion, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Spread the apple and walnut mixture evenly over the opened pork loin, leaving about an inch border around the edges.
  5. Starting at one end, roll up the pork loin tightly, jelly-roll style. Tie the roast securely with kitchen twine at 2-inch intervals. Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard until well combined. Brush the mixture all over the pork roast.
  7. Roast the pork in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast registers 145°F (63°C).
  8. Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  9. Slice the roast into thick slices and serve with the pan juices.
  10. Enjoy the juicy and flavorful Apple Walnut Stuffed Pork Roast!
