For an extra layer of flavor, consider searing the pork tenderloins in a hot skillet before baking. Adjust the amount of chipotle chili powder to suit your preferred level of spiciness. A splash of apple cider vinegar in the sauce can add a delightful tang. Ensure the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for optimal safety and flavor. Serve with a side of quinoa or wild rice to complete the meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
02
StepIn a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon ginger, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon chili powder, salt, and pepper. Rub this aromatic blend generously all over the pork tenderloins.
03
StepArrange the apples and sweet potatoes in the prepared baking dish. Dot them with butter for added richness.
04
StepIn a separate bowl, whisk together apple cider, lime juice, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1/8 teaspoon chili powder, garam masala, salt, and pepper. Pour this vibrant mixture over the apples and sweet potatoes, then nestle the tenderloins on top.
05
StepBake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Spoon the flavorful cooking liquid over the apples and sweet potatoes, turn the tenderloins, and continue baking until the pork is slightly pink at the center, approximately 20 minutes longer. A meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the tenderloin should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
06
StepUsing a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the apples and sweet potatoes to a serving platter. Place the tenderloins on top and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.
07
StepPour the remaining cooking liquid from the baking dish into a 1-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced by half, about 10 to 15 minutes.
08
StepDrizzle the luscious sauce over the pork, apples, and sweet potatoes. Slice the tenderloins and serve immediately.
