serves 12
3 lb pork loin
1 cup apple butter
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Drizzle extra virgin olive oil
Preheat oven to 350°.
Sprinkle pork loin with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over high heat, drizzle olive oil and allow to warm. Then brown all 6 sides of pork loin (to get the ends I had to hold the pork with tongs). Remove from pan and set in baking dish to rest while you prepare glaze.
In a medium sized bowl, combine apple butter, walnuts and cayenne pepper. Apply apple butter mixture to the whole pork loin each side, top, bottom and front and back!
Bake for 50-80 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°. Mine took about 70 minutes!
Enjoy!!!
