Enjoy Pork With Apples for a Sunday Dinner Recipe
This is a tasty Sunday night dinner recipe that features tender pork tenderloin and sweet apples that was adapted from a similar recipe I’ve been making for years by the authors of the cookbook Best of Bridge. Balance this recipe by adding some rice, steamed broccoli/asparagus/green beans, and a salad.
