Pork Tenderloin with Spiced Apple Chutney

This Pork Tenderloin, paired with warm Spiced Apple Chutney, screams cozy dinner. This pork tenderloin recipe features a marinade that keeps the meat tender and flavorful and is topped with a homemade old-fashioned apple chutney that gives the meal a sweet, tangy, and savory balance.

When it’s time to grill, I love a relish to pair with the meat like this Grilled Ribeye Steak with Greek Relish , a delicious galze like this Honey Lime Grilled Chicken , or a fun sauce like this Root Beer Barbecue Sauce .

This easy apple chutney recipe is perfect for your grilled meats like chicken, served over mashed potatoes, or as a side to a charcuterie board.

How to make Apple Pork Tenderloin

Marinate

• Start out by making the marinade
• Get a large container or gallon-sized zip-tight bag to hold the pork, and add all of the marinade ingredients.
• Cover, and pop it in the fridge for 30 minutes
• Take it out, flip the pork over, and place it back in for about 30 minutes, or longer if you have time

Cook the Pork

• When that’s ready, place the pork on a heated grill and grill until the pork is cooked, turning occasionally. Depending on the pork’s thickness, this will take between 15-25 minutes. The internal temperature should be 140°-145° F.
• Let the pork rest for 5-10 minutes

Make the Chutney

• When the pork is about halfway done, get out a medium saucepan, and over medium heat, melt butter
• Add onions and apples
• Cook those down, until apples are softened, and onion is translucent – 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally
• Add garlic, and stir for another minute

• Add the last 5 ingredients of the apple topping.

• Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover with a lid, and simmer for about 10 minutes

Serve

• When the pork has rested, slice it. Serve with apple topping.
