How to Make Bavarian Pork Loin
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Peel and thinly slice 1 large onion and 2 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp).
- Layer the onions and apples evenly in the bottom of a shallow roasting pan.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 teaspoon of caraway seeds over the apple and onion layer.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup apple butter, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard.
- Season a 3-4 pound boneless pork loin roast generously with garlic salt.
- Place the pork loin on top of the apple and onion layer in the roasting pan.
- Spread the apple butter mixture evenly over the top of the roast.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 teaspoon of caraway seeds over the glaze.
- Cover the roasting pan tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 3 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork loin registers 160°F (71°C).
- Remove from oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before carving and serving with your favorite sides, such as pumpernickel bread, dumplings, and sauerkraut.
