JennyRed__FLThe book lists the cook time as 1 1/4 hours.
The cook time was adjusted to keep consistent with the new recommendations for cooking pork to 145º.

I got this recipe from the 2011 Taste of Home Cookbook. The book lists the cook time as 1 1/4 hours. The apples were mushy after only 45 minutes, but I couldn't remove them because they were mixed in with the onions. They picture makes it look as though the onions would get slightly crispy, but they ended up mushy as well. So, even at the shorter cook time listed online, the apples and onions wouldn't have been good. Any flavor the garlic might have given the dish completely dissipated in the oven. In short, the pork was very plain, and the apples and onions were mushy and tasteless. I'm very disappointed in TOH for not only choosing the recipe to be published in their book and online, but for having discrepancies in the cook time.

Apples were a little bland as was the pork. Didn't care for the roasted onions. I dipped the pork in dijon mustard to give it some flavor.

Excellent pork roast for fall. The apples and onions were a great compliment. And the pork was juicy and tender. I made some pan gravy to go atop the pork and the mashed potatoes I served it with, and the entire meal was a big hit!

This was wonderful! Thank you for sharing the recipe. I did make some changes, but only because I wanted to utilize things on hand. I used a bone in pork shoulder roast (cheaper cut). I used Jonagold apples. I washed and quartered red potatoes, placed them in a bag with 1 TBSP. of olive oil to coat and then placed them with apples and onions. When sprinkling the roast with salt, I used seasoning salt. I baked as directed for 1 hour and 45 min. and then, because my husband was running late, I dropped the heat back to 300 degrees for another 45 minutes. The veggies and fruit were wonderful and the roast was moist and favorful. My husband loved it!

Absolutely delicious! The pork loin was so juicy and tender. My husband loved it! The apples weren't too sweet with the onions and garlic. What I did to alter the recipe was, first, to liberally sprinkle salt and pepper over the roast before browning in the pan. I think the person saying this recipe had no flavor probably does not know how to use salt and pepper properly, because the pork loin was incredibly flavorful. Next, I added 3 extra cloves of garlic, because I love garlic, and it wasn't overpowering at all. It was perfect. I also added 4 pats of butter. Three on the apples, onions, and garlic mixture. And one on the pork loin itself. I wanted to make sure that the onions and apple mix didn't dry out, and they didn't. I think adding the extra butter really helped this recipe come together. Will definitely be adding this one to my list of recipes I make regularly.

This was so good. My husband normally does not like cooked onions, but the apples flavored them so well. I had Fuji apples and used them in this dish. Delicious!

I love how this turns out! I have used regular white onions and sweet onions, and prefer the sweet ones for this recipe. My whole family enjoys it - which says a lot, with three picky boys!

Loved this recipe! Half way through the baking time I covered it with foil because the the apples and onions were drying out.
