Directions:
1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Pork Loin:
In a small bowl, combine Dijon mustard, brown sugar, olive oil, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Rub this mixture all over the pork loin, coating it thoroughly.
3. Roast the Pork:
Place the pork loin in a roasting pan.
Roast for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes (about 20 minutes per pound), or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Cover loosely with foil and let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
4. Make the Cranberry Apple Topping:
While the pork is roasting, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add cranberries, diced apple, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit softens and the cranberries pop. Set aside.
5. Prepare the Apple Cider Glaze:
In another small saucepan, combine apple cider, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and balsamic vinegar.
Bring to a simmer and reduce by half, about 10 minutes, until it becomes a thick glaze.
6. Serve:
Slice the pork and arrange it on a serving platter.
Spoon the cranberry apple topping over the pork and drizzle with the apple cider glaze.
Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired.
