Feta and Apple Stuffed Pork Tenderloin Recipe
The key to success with this Feta and Apple Oven Roasted Stuffed Pork Tenderloin recipe is to be sure that you select pork tenderloin instead of the normal pork loin roast.
Tenderloins are narrower and longer than loin roasts, and they normally weigh around one pound each.
A two-pound (or a larger) package will contain two individual pieces of pork tenderloin.
You’ll need to butterfly both pieces by cutting halfway through the meat lengthwise, without cutting all the way through.
Then, pound each piece and stuff as described below.

lbs.
pork tenderloin
butterflied - ½
cup unsweetened apple juice - ½
cup Riesling wine
or other sweet white wine - 1 pinch Sea salt
to taste - 1 pinch Black Pepper
to taste - 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 2
small Gala apples
peeled and diced - 1 small red onion

finely chopped - 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. ground cloves
- ⅓ cup dates
chopped - 6 oz. Feta cheese

Instructions
1. Let pork tenderloin rest at room temperature for at
least 30 minutes, but not more than 2 hours, before cooking.Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine apple juice and white wine in a small bowl and season
with salt and black pepper, to taste. Set aside.Place a sheet of plastic wrap on a clean, dry work surface. Add the butterflied
tenderloins on top of the plastic and cover with a second sheet of plastic
wrap. Pound the meat with a meat mallet or rolling pin until it is
approximately 1/3” thick throughout. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add
chopped apples, red onion, and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until
the apples are soft and mushrooms and onion are browned, approximately 8-10
minutes. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.Add rosemary, cinnamon, and cloves to the skillet and cook for another minute or
two, or until the spices become fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the
chopped dates and crumbled Feta.Spread the stuffing mixture onto the prepared pork tenderloins and roll up tightly.
Secure the roasts with kitchen string or toothpicks.Carefully transfer the tenderloins to a large roasting pan. Using a pastry brush, coat the
outside of each roast with the apple cider/wine mixture, then pour half of the
remaining liquid into the pan. Sprinkle roasts lightly with salt and black pepper,
if desired, before placing the pan into the pre-heated oven.Baste the pork with the remaining apple cider mixture every
10-15 minutes while it cooks. Check for doneness after 50 minutes and continue
cooking until an instant read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork reads
just below 145°F. (Temperature will increase while the meat rests).Remove from oven and cover pan loosely with aluminum foil. Let rest for 10-15 minutes
before removing the kitchen string or toothpicks. Slice and serve immediately
with a drizzle of pan juices. Enjoy!
