Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb pork loin butterflied
  • 4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 2 apples peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth

Method
 

Prepare the pork loin:
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Butterfly the pork loin by cutting it lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through, and then open it like a book. Pound it gently to an even thickness.
Cook the filling:
  1. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until softened.
  2. Add the diced apples, bacon, rosemary, and cinnamon. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the apples soften. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
Stuff the pork loin:
  1. Spread the bacon and apple mixture evenly over the inside of the butterflied pork loin.
  2. Roll the pork tightly and secure it with kitchen twine at 2-inch intervals.
Sear the pork loin:
  1. Heat the remaining olive oil in the skillet and sear the rolled pork loin on all sides until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes).
Roast the pork:
  1. Transfer the seared pork to a baking dish. Pour the chicken broth into the dish to keep the pork moist during roasting.
  2. Roast in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Rest and serve:
  1. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with pan juices.
