Ingredients

  • 1 lb (500 g) Ontario Boneless Pork Loin or Tenderloin, cut in 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick slices
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) ground sage
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter
  • 1 Ontario Cooking Onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 Ontario McIntosh Apples, cored and thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) Ontario Maple Syrup
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) chicken or vegetable stock

Instructions

Rub pork slices with sage; season lightly with salt and pepper.  In large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.  Add seasoned pork slices; cook until lightly browned, about 1 minute per side.  Remove from pan and set aside.  Add onion to pan; cook for 5 minutes or until softened, reducing heat if needed.  Stir in apples; cook for 5 minutes.  Stir in maple syrup.

Return pork and accumulated juices to skillet.  Add stock; cover and simmer, until juices run clear when pork is pierced, about 5 minutes.  Transfer pork to platter and keep warm.  Increase heat to high; cook apple mixture until liquid becomes syrupy.  Spoon over pork and serve immediately.
