Cranberry Apple Pork Loin Stuffed Dish

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cranberry Apple Pork Loin Stuffed Dish.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C) and give your roasting pan a light coat of cooking spray to ensure your delicious creation doesn’t stick.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken-flavored dry stuffing mix with water, stirring in some chopped apple, dried cranberries, toasted pecans, and finely chopped onion.

3. Step 3

   This delightful mixture will add a burst of flavor and texture, so set it aside for now.

4. Step 4

   Next, take your pork loin and trim away any excess fat and silverskin to ensure a tender bite.

5. Step 5

   Carefully slice the pork loin horizontally, stopping about half an inch from the other side, and then gently open it up like a book, revealing a perfect canvas for your stuffing.

6. Step 6

   To make it even more tender, place the pork loin between two sheets of heavy plastic, like resealable freezer bags, on a sturdy surface.

7. Step 7

   Using the smooth side of a meat mallet, pound the pork loin to about half an inch thick, which will help it cook evenly and absorb all those wonderful flavors.

8. Step 8

   Now, season the opened pork loin generously with salt and black pepper, then spread your reserved stuffing mixture evenly over the cut side, making sure every bite will be packed with goodness.

9. Step 9

   Roll the pork loin tightly into a cylinder, securing it with cooking twine to keep all that delicious stuffing inside.

10. Step 10

    Place your beautifully rolled pork loin into the prepared roasting pan and slide it into the oven.

11. Step 11

    Bake for about an hour, or until the pork is perfectly cooked and no longer pink in the center.

12. Step 12

    To check for doneness, an instant-read thermometer should read 145°F (63°C) when inserted into the center.

13. Step 13

    Once it’s done, take the pork out and cover it with two layers of aluminum foil, allowing it to rest in a warm spot for about 10 minutes.

14. Step 14

    This resting period is crucial as it helps the juices redistribute, making every slice succulent.

15. Step 15

    Finally, remove the kitchen twine, slice your masterpiece, and get ready to serve a dish that’s sure to impress your family and friends! Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and the satisfaction of a home-cooked meal.
