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
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 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.
- In a bowl, combine the chopped apples, walnuts, onion, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
- Spread the apple and walnut mixture evenly over the opened pork loin, leaving about an inch border around the edges.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the roast into thick slices and serve with the pan juices.
- Enjoy the juicy and flavorful Apple Walnut Stuffed Pork Roast!
