How to bake pork with apples? Prepare the necessary products. I have a pork loin, you can take a not too fatty neck part, ham or tenderloin. Apples are better suited for sweet and sour, large.

Make the marinade first. For him, we'll need one apple. Peel and seed it, cut into pieces. Grind the apple with a submersible blender until mashed. You can grate the apple on a fine grater.

Wash a sprig of rosemary, cut off the leaves. Fresh rosemary can be replaced with dry rosemary.

In a suitable bowl, combine apple puree, paprika, coriander, olive oil. Add the salt, rosemary leaves, black ground pepper, mix well. If the pork is fatter, reduce the amount of olive oil to 2 tbsp.

Wash the pork, dry with paper towels. In the meat, make transverse cuts 1 cm apart and do not cut to the bottom about 1 cm.

Rub the meat on all sides and in your pockets with apple marinade. Cover the meat with clingfilm and leave to marinate in the fridge for 4-5 hours, best overnight. The longer the pickling lasts, the tastier the finished dish will be.

Cut the rest of the apples in half, peel from the seeds. Cut the apples into slices at least 0. 5cm thick. Do not cut the apples too thinly so that they retain their shape when baked.

Put the pickled meat in a baking dish. Insert 2 slices of apples into each pocket. Apple wedges can also be placed between the meat and the edges of the mold. Then the meat will not fit into shape during cooking.

Cover the mold with foil on top.

Bake the meat in the oven preheated to 180-190S for about 1 hours. Then remove the foil and bake for another 25 minutes until ruddy top. Meat readiness can be checked with a knife, it must be soft. The cooking time may differ from the specified, as it depends on the peculiarities of the oven. Based on this, adjust the temperature and baking time, focusing on your oven.

Cut the meat into portions and serve. Enjoy your meal!
