We found the perfect fall dish—pork roast with apples and onions—and you won’t believe how easy it is to make.

Ingredients

1 boneless pork loin roast (2 pounds)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 large Golden Delicious apples, cut into 1-inch wedges
2 large onions, cut into 3/4-inch wedges
5 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat; brown roast on all sides. Transfer to a roasting pan coated with cooking spray. Place apples, onions and garlic around roast; sprinkle with rosemary.
Roast until a thermometer inserted in pork reads 145°, 45-55 minutes, turning apples, onion and garlic once. Remove from oven; tent with foil. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing roast. Serve with apple mixture.

The sweetness of the apples and onions nicely complements the roast pork. With its crisp, golden exterior and melt-in-your-mouth flavor, this pork is my family's favorite weekend dinner. —Lily Julow, Lawrenceville, Georgia
