Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• 2. Heat oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Season pork loin with salt and pepper and lie, fat side down, in skillet. Cook until golden brown on all sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; set it aside.

Bring to a boil and scrape bits with a wooden spoon from pan bottom. Cook until wine reduces by half. Add broth and bring to a boil. 3. Return loin and drippings to skillet. Transfer to oven and roast to between 145 degrees F and 150 degrees F, about 40 minutes. Transfer loin to a plate; tent with foil.
• 4. Strain pan juices (discard solids) into a small saucepan. Boil until reduced by a third. Reduce heat to medium-low and whisk in mustard. Stir in butter and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Keep warm but do not boil.
• 5. Untie and slice roast, arrange on a platter and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir drippings into sauce and pour over meat. Serve with applesauce.

• 3. Pass through a food mill; discard peels and seeds. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• In a small bowl combine applesauce, brown sugar, vinegar and ground cloves, set aside.
• Cut slits in top of the loin roast and insert garlic strips into those slits.
• Combine flour, salt, sugar, pepper and mustard, like a rub and rub over the roast.
• Place roast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
• Bake uncovered, at 350°F until a thermometer reads 160 degrees.
• Brush applesauce mixture over roast during the last 1/2 hour of baking.
• When thermometer reads done, remove the roast to a warm serving platter.
• To make gravy thicken broth in pan with cornstarch and water.
• (Really sweet gravy though).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large ovenproof skillet heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Season the pork loin all over generously with salt and pepper. Lay the loin, fat side down in the skillet, and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Use tongs to turn the meat, and continue to brown it on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the meat to a plate and set it aside.
• Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, and herb sprigs to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the wine. Return the skillet to a high heat and scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to loosen up any browned bits. Boil the wine until it is reduced by about half. Add the broth and bring to a boil.
• Return the loin and any collected juices to the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast the loin until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat registers between 145 to 150 degrees F., about 40 minutes. (See Cooks Note.)
• Transfer the pork to a plate, and cover it loosely with foil. Set it aside in a warm spot while you make a sauce.
• Strain the cooking liquid through a fine mesh strainer into a small saucepan; press down on the vegetables with a wooden spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids. Boil the liquid over high heat until reduced by about a third. Reduce the heat to medium-low, whisk in the mustard, and then the bits of butter to enrich the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm but do not boil.
• Remove the strings from the roast and then slice the loin. Add any collected juices to the sauce. Arrange the meat on a warm platter and season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the meat. Serve with the applesauce on the side.
• Remove the apple's stems. Coarsely chop the apples with their skin and seeds. Combine the apples, sugar, and lemon juice with 3 tablespoons of water in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Cover, and lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook until the apples are completely soft, about 20 minutes.
• Remove the lid and continue to cook (stir frequently to prevent scorching) until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes more. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Pass the apple mixture through a food mill; discard the peels and seeds. Serve warm or at room temperature. Refrigerate if not using immediately.

Steps:

• In a large shallow dish, combine the first 5 ingredients. Add pork; turn to coat. Cover; refrigerate 8 hours or overnight. , Preheat oven to 350°. Place pork roast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, fat side up. Roast until a thermometer reads 145°, 55-65 minutes. , Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, rosemary and salt; cook until apples are tender, 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally., Stir in water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until apples are very soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat; mash apples to desired consistency. , Remove roast from oven; tent with foil. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with warm applesauce.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and apple slices in the melted butter until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer onion and apple to a bowl.
• Place pork chops in the same skillet; cook over medium heat until pork chops are browned on both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
• Mix applesauce, brown sugar, mustard, and cinnamon into onion and apple mixture.
• Place pork chops in a 9x9-inch baking dish; season with salt and black pepper. Spoon applesauce mixture over pork chops; cover dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pork chops are no longer pink in the center, about 30 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Steps:

• Season pork chops with garlic, salt and pepper.
• In heavy skillet, brown chops in small amount of cooking oil.
• Mix remaining ingredients while chops are browning.
• Place chops, single-layer, in shallow baking dish.
• Spoon half of applesauce mixture evenly over chops.
• Bake in preheated 350 oven for 20 minutes.
• Turn chops and evenly spoon remaining applesauce mixture over them.
• Bake for 20-30 more minutes.

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Heat olive oil. Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper all over the pork loin and sear in the hot oil on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove pork from the pot. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up all the browned bits so none are stuck on the bottom. Turn off Saute function.
• Pour in apple cider and add pork loin back to the pot. Mix ground thyme into the applesauce and spread over the top and sides of the pork loin. Place onion slices around the pork loin. Close and lock the lid. Select High pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 25 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 15 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Remove pork and onion slices from the pot. Mix cornstarch with cold water in a bowl.
• Turn on Saute function and stir cornstarch mixture into the pan juices. Bring to a boil and cook until gravy has slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve gravy with the pork loin.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees; set the oven rack as close to the top of the oven as possible, taking into account the thickness of the pork.
• Drain the applesauce in a fine sieve to remove excess liquid. Line a roasting pan with a double layer of foil, and brush with a little oil.
• Sprinkle the roast with salt and pepper, then spread the applesauce evenly over it. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper, and roast, checking every 15 minutes or so to make sure the applesauce doesn't burn. It's fine if it darkens and browns, even turning dark brown, as long as the top doesn't blacken.
• After 45 minutes, begin checking the pork with an instant-read thermometer. When the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees, remove the meat from the oven. Let it rest 5 minutes, then carve. Serve the sliced meat with any accumulated juices.
