Instructions
To prepare Pork Loin with Apples first tie with a string the Pork Loin.
Once tied, season with salt and pepper and brown the loin well on all sides in a saucepan with a little olive oil, a knob of butter, the garlic cloves, sage leaves and rosemary sprigs.
Smoke with the white wine and marsala, let the alcohol part evaporate and transfer to the oven and bake at 360°F (180°C) for about 1 hour and 30 minutes or at least until the meat is well cooked. While cooking, turn the arista thoroughly and add some broth as needed.
Halfway through cooking, add the well-washed apples and continue until both the apples and the meat are well cooked.
Once ready take it out of the oven, let the loin rest for a few moments and slice it. Remove the apples, take the pulp and arrange it, along with the cooking juices on the slices of meat. Serve your Loin with Apples warm.
