This pork loin took practically no time at all to prepare, but tasted like I put a ton of time into it! This would impress your guests for sure!
My only complaint here is I felt like there weren't enough apples to scoop up with my pork, so I adjusted the recipe below to include more! :)
I used a McCormick seasoning I had in my cupboard, but if you can't find it, no biggie! I'll give you a tip below on a blend of spices you can use to create your very own rub!
I hope you enjoy this as much as we did! We were all members of the "Clean Plate Club" tonight!
P.S. I ran out of potatoes, which I originally had planned to throw in, but I think it was a happy coincidence! I ended up making instant mashed potatoes, mixed with some sour cream and fresh chives. They were awesome!
Apple and Onion Pork Loin
Ingredients:
2.5-3 lb. Boneless Pork Loin
1 Chicken bouillon cube
6 Tbsp. (approximately) McCormic Savory Herb Roasting Rub (If you can't find this, make your own rub with 2 tsp. garlic powder, 2 tsp. minced onion, 1 tsp. salt, 2 tsp. sage, 2 tsp. thyme and 2 tsp. rosemary)
1 onion, halved and sliced
3-4 apples, (whatever kind you like) peeled and sliced
1/2 cup water
olive oil
Directions:
In your crock, place your pork loin.
Coat it with olive oil and cover your loin with your rub all over.
Put your bouillon cube in with 1/2 cup of water and top your pork loin with the apples and onions.
Cook on LOW for 8-10 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours.
ENJOY!

Sounds yummy. I'm gonna try it.
ReplyDeleteI hope you do! Then, come back and tell us how you liked it!
DeleteWe liked it very much. My husband loved the apples. I used a different seasoning (Montreal Chicken) and like you said we had a clean plate club too. Thank you for the recipe, I will make it again.
DeleteGlad to hear it!
DeleteI am making this today. I browned the loin first, but other than that i followed your recipe. excited!

How was it Liz?
DeleteMy entire family, even the the kids, loved this recipe! I browned the loin first & then put on the rub. I also pureed the apples & onions with a hand blender after i removed the cooked meat, added some flour & water to make a gravy & it was delicious!
ReplyDeleteGREAT ideas! I'm so happy you all enjoyed it!
DeleteIn the crockpot now... Already smelling awesome with the apples! I always mke pork loin the same old way. I am excited to surprise my hubby with something new! Followed the recipe but added some butternut squash too - not sure if that was a good idea lol.
ReplyDeleteHow was it with the addition of the Butternut Squash?!
DeleteSo good! My Dad and husband raved about it, we had it for Christmas dinner. I did onion, apples, water, and a few spices, and I thought it was really good! Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! you are very welcome!
DeleteWow…this is so simple and looks so delicious. Personally I am not really like fresh apple, but after long cooking time, I think I will love this. The apple must be soft and sweet. By the way, thinking to try pineapple and peach versions and add a bit of brown sugar, so it a bit sweet. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, yum! Great ideas!
DeleteOmg my kitchen smells amazing! Making for dinner for a new guy i am seeing and my kids. Think they are going to be very happy. Thank you for sharing I was looking for something different from the same basic ways.
ReplyDeleteHow did they like it, Tina?!
DeleteSo Im gonna try a variation to include onion soup mix and since I only have apple pie filling... may or may not rinse the sauce from the apple...
