Pork Tenderloin in Phyllo with Sautéed Apples

I stopped by a farmers market this past weekend and picked up some early season apples. Nothing beats the taste of freshly picked apples from a local farm! This dish celebrates those flavors by combining them with pork tenderloin and buttery, flaky phyllo dough. This dish is so simple to make, yet tastes elegant.


1. Preheat oven to 400. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray and place pork tenderloin on top. Season the pork with salt and pepper and bake for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through roasting.

2. Combine the mustard, honey and thyme in a small bowl. Spread over the pork.

3. Place 1 phyllo sheet on a cutting board and lightly coat with cooking spray. Repeat layers in the remaining phyllo dough; lightly coat the top phyllo sheet with cooking spray. Place pork on one edge of the phyllo stack and roll gently. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes longer.

4. Meanwhile, melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add sugar and cook for 1 minute. Add apples and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add cream and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.

5. Once out of the oven, let the pork rest for 10 minutes, then slice. Spoon apples onto serving plates and top with pork.
