Pork Tenderloin with Apple Cider Gravy

Trying to spend a night each week updating my blog.  I do still cook, just can't seem to find the time to write about it!

Here's a great one for fall:

1 or 1 1/2 pound boneless pork tenderloin
2 tbsp olive oil
1 small yellow onion-sliced
2 medium Granny Smith apples (or whatever you love!)- diced, unpeeled
1 cup apple cider
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
salt and pepper
dried sage (optional)

1.) Heat olive oil in a large dutch oven (be sure it's oven safe) on medium heat
2.) Season pork tenderloin liberally with salt and pepper on both sides.  Sprinkle with sage.
3.) Place pork into dutch oven to sear.  Sear on all sides so that it creates a golden brown color all around. 
4.) Remove pork from dutch oven and set aside.  Turn heat down to low.  Allow to cool for a few minutes.
5.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
6.) Melt 3 tbsp. of butter and add apples and onions to soften. 
7.) Add 3 tbsp. of flour, allow to cook for 2 minutes.
8.) Stir in cider and place pork on top of apples, onions, and cider. 
9.) Put lid on dutch oven and bake for 20 minutes or until internal temperature of pork reads 170 degrees.
10.) Allow pork to rest 5-10 minutes before slicing.  Pour cider gravy that is in bottom of pan over pork just before serving.

Serve with your favorite sides!
