How to Make Apple And Fennel Roasted Pork Tenderloin

1. Preheat oven to 475°F (246°C). Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds.
2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples, fennel, and onion with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
3. Spread the apple mixture evenly on a rimmed baking sheet.
4. Roast on the lower oven rack for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and golden brown.
5. After the apple mixture has been roasting for about 10 minutes, season the pork tenderloin generously with salt and pepper.
6. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
7. Sear the pork tenderloin in the hot skillet for 2 minutes per side, until nicely browned.
8. Transfer the skillet to the upper oven rack.
9. Roast for 12-14 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145°F (63°C).
10. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing.
11. While the pork rests, stir the apple cider vinegar into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Pour this pan sauce over the roasted apple mixture.
12. Thinly slice the pork tenderloin and serve over the apple and fennel mixture.
13. Garnish with fresh fennel fronds.
