- 1/4 cup fresh sage leaves, chopped
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a large roasting pan with nonstick spray.
- Sear the Roast: In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Season pork loin with salt and pepper, then sear all sides until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes per side).
- Prepare Apples: While the pork is searing, core and slice the apples. In a bowl, toss apple slices with brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped sage.
