Question 1

Do I need to peel the apples?

Accepted Answer

No, the apples do not need to be peeled. The skin helps the wedges hold their shape, but you can peel them if your family prefers.

Question 2

How do I know when the pork is finished cooking?

Accepted Answer

Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the tenderloin. It is ready when it reaches 145°F. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

Question 3

Can I prepare this recipe ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Prepare the glaze and chop the sweet potatoes and onion up to one day ahead. Cut the apples just before roasting so they do not turn brown.

Question 4

What apples are best with pork tenderloin?

Accepted Answer

Firm apples like Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, or Fuji work best because they hold their shape while roasting.
