Caramel Apple Pork Loin
A riff on one of our family's favorites: caramel apple pork chops by Tyson. I love the loin because you can choose the thickness of your "chops" and you get a nice, even cook on all of them. Turns out moist and beautiful. You'll want a side with some salt to balance out the sweet sauce.
