Oh my gosh, this is my new favorite recipe for pork!! The flavor is outstanding. Served it with sage stuffing and the two complimented each other well!!

I used butter instead of oil, wine instead of apple juice and 1 t of fresh thyme. I followed the rest of the recipe as written. I served it with asparagus and a garlic butter rice. I used a gala apple also . It's a great recipe for 2 .
