How to Make Applesauce Pork Roast

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Pat a 3-4 lb boneless pork loin roast dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork roast on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon honey.
5. Spread the applesauce mixture evenly over the browned roast.
6. Tuck 4-5 fresh rosemary sprigs on top of the roast.
7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
8. Roast uncovered for 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160°F (71°C).
9. Remove from oven and let the roast rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful roast.
