I got the idea for this recipe from one of my favorite fall drinks: snappy ginger apple cider with caramel. My pork loin is stuffed with a gingery apple filling and topped with a sweet and delicious soy caramel glaze.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 shallot- diced
- 1 crisp red apple- chopped
- 1 granny smith apple- chopped
- 1 tablespoon finely diced fresh ginger
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup fresh apple cider (plus 1/4 cup)
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoon cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup soy sauce

salt and pepper the pork loin. Spread the apple mixture down the pork and roll the pork over the mixture (like a jelly roll style).
