Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin with Apple Filling

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin with Apple Filling.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).

2. Step 2

   In a small bowl, blend Dijon mustard and maple syrup until they harmonize beautifully.

3. Step 3

   Take your pork tenderloin and pat it dry with paper towels.

4. Step 4

   With a steady hand, slice the tenderloin lengthwise, ensuring you don’t cut all the way through, then gently open it like a book.

5. Step 5

   Generously spread the mustard mixture over both the inside and outside of the tenderloin, then season it with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

6. Step 6

   On one side, artfully layer apple slices, minced red onion, and fresh thyme leaves, then fold the tenderloin back together, cradling the flavorful filling inside.

7. Step 7

   Next, lay out bacon slices on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil, overlapping them slightly to create a cozy blanket.

8. Step 8

   Position the stuffed tenderloin at the top end of the bacon and, using the foil, carefully roll it up tightly, securing the ends with wooden toothpicks.

9. Step 9

   Transfer this delightful package to a 9x13-inch baking pan, using the foil to catch any drippings.

10. Step 10

    Bake in your preheated oven for about 20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the pork is just slightly pink in the center.

11. Step 11

    Aim for an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C) when checked with an instant-read thermometer.

12. Step 12

    Once done, remove the tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes, allowing the internal temperature to rise to a perfect 145°F (63°C) before slicing into this succulent masterpiece.

13. Step 13

    Enjoy the delightful blend of flavors in every bite!.
