Step-by-step

  • Preheat sous vide machine to 135 degrees F.
  • Mix all glaze ingredients in a food processor.
  • Set aside about 1/3 of the mixture. Use the rest to rub all over pork loin. Add some additional salt to the loin. Vacuum seal loin and place into the 135 F water bath. Cook for 2.5 hours.
  • Remove pork from bag. Heat a nonstick skillet with butter until sizzling. Add pork and sear, rotating, so all sides get a toasty brown, about 45-60 seconds / side. Remove pork and set aside.
  • Using the same skillet, add your apples and onions and a tbsp of the reserved glaze. Sautee over medium heat until onions are translucent and apples are soft.
  • Slice pork, spooning any leftover glaze on top. Serve with a generous scoop of apple and onion hash. Salt more to taste if necessary.

My Unexpected Sous Vide Adventure: A Maple Apple Pork Tenderloin Revelation

As a busy working mom, time in the kitchen is a precious commodity. Dinner needs to be quick, healthy, and – let’s be honest – delicious enough to please even the pickiest eaters in my family. For a long time, I stuck to the same old rotation of tried-and-true recipes, always wary of trying anything new and potentially complex. That was until I stumbled upon the world of sous vide cooking.

I’ll admit, the initial investment in a sous vide machine felt extravagant. But after just one use – and this Maple Apple Pork Sous Vide recipe was my first experiment – I was completely won over. The results were simply extraordinary. The pork tenderloin was unbelievably juicy, tender, and flavorful, exceeding even my expectations. The subtle sweetness of the maple glaze perfectly complemented the tartness of the apples, creating a symphony of taste in my mouth.

This recipe isn't just about the sous vide method; it's about transforming a simple pork tenderloin into a gourmet experience with minimal effort. The rosemary garlic maple rub adds a layer of savory depth that elevates the entire dish. The prep is simple: a quick chop of apples and onions, a whisk of the glaze ingredients, and then the magic of the sous vide machine takes over. The searing step at the end is just a finishing touch, adding a delightful crispiness to the already melt-in-your-mouth pork.

What truly sets this recipe apart is its versatility. While I used a pink lady apple, any tart apple will work just as well. The glaze can be adjusted to your preference; add more maple syrup for extra sweetness, or use a different type of honey for a unique flavor profile. Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices to create your own signature rub.

Serving this dish is an experience in itself. The aroma alone is enough to draw the whole family to the table. I usually serve it with a simple side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, letting the tenderloin be the star of the show. The apple and onion hash complements the pork beautifully, adding another layer of texture and flavor to each bite.
