Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds pork tenderloin
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil -- divided
  • 1 large onion -- cut into 12 wedges
  • 9 small red potatoes -- cut in half about 1 1/4 pounds
  • 2 apples -- cut into 1-inch cubes about 1 pound
  • 1 1/2 cups apple cider
  • 1 cup fat-free less-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup Calvados -- apple brandy
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup low-fat sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°.
  2. Trim fat from pork tenderloin. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large, ovenproof Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook 8 minutes or until browned, turning occasionally. Remove pork from pan.
  3. Add 2 teaspoons oil to pan. Add onion; sauté 5 minutes. Add pork and potatoes to pan; insert a meat thermometer into thickest portion of pork. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 15 minutes. Add apples; bake an additional 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender and thermometer registers 160° (slightly pink). Remove pork and potato mixture from pan; keep warm.
  4. Add cider, broth, Calvados, salt, and pepper to pan, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Bring to a boil over high heat, and cook until reduced to 1 cup (about 8 minutes). Remove from heat. Stir in sour cream, stirring with a whisk until well-blended. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 1 minute. Cut pork into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange 3 ounces pork on each of 6 plates; top each with 1 cup potato mixture and 1/4 cup sour cream sauce.
  5. Note: For an alcohol-free version, simply increase the apple cider to 2 cups and omit the Calvados.
