4 servings

Ingredients

• 3/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 pork tenderloin (1 pound)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 medium tart apple, sliced
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1/2 cup white wine or additional broth
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons thawed apple juice concentrate
• Chopped fresh parsley, optional

Directions

1. Mix the first 5 ingredients. Cut tenderloin crosswise into 8 slices; pound each with a meat mallet to 1/2-in. thickness. Sprinkle pork with seasoning mixture.
2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add apple; cook and stir until crisp-tender, 3-4 minutes. Remove from pan.
3. In same pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, brown pork on both sides; remove from pan.
4. Add broth and wine to pan, stirring to loosen browned bits. Mix cornstarch and apple juice concentrate until smooth; stir into broth mixture. Return to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes.
5. Return pork and apple to pan. Reduce heat to medium; cook, covered, until a thermometer inserted in pork reads 145°, 3-5 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with parsley.
