INGREDIENTS

  • 5 fresh thyme sprigs
  • 2 Granny Smith apples, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch pieces
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1¼ teaspoons salt
  • 1¼ teaspoons black pepper
  • 2 pork tenderloins, trimmed (about 1¼ pounds each)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 425°; line 2 rimmed baking pans with parchment paper. On 1 prepared pan, toss thyme, apples, potatoes, onion, 2 tablespoons oil, and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper.
  2. Place pork on second prepared pan; sprinkle with remaining ¾ teaspoon each salt and pepper.  In small bowl, stir sugar, mustard and remaining 2 tablespoons oil; brush pork with half the sugar mixture. Roast pork and apple mixture 10 minutes; stir apple mixture and brush pork with remaining sugar mixture, and roast 12 minutes or until internal temperature of pork reaches 135° and potatoes are tender. Transfer pork to cutting board; tent with aluminum foil and let stand 10 minutes. (Internal temperature will rise to 145° upon standing.) Toss apple mixture with pork pan juices. Makes about 6 cups apple mixture.
