Maple Bourbon Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Spiced Apple Compote

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds pork tenderloin
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons bourbon
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, bourbon, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Place the pork tenderloin on the prepared baking sheet and brush generously with half of the maple bourbon glaze.
4. Roast the pork in the oven for 20 minutes, then brush again with the remaining glaze and continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
5. While pork roasts, prepare the apple compote: in a saucepan over medium heat, combine diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and a pinch of salt.
6. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender and mixture has thickened, about 10 minutes.
7. Remove pork from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
8. Serve slices of pork topped with warm spiced apple compote.
