My family loves pork tenderloin, so I created this hearty meal. This slightly sweet preparation is one of our favorites. It's also an impressive dish for company.—Joyce Moynihan, Lakeville, Minnesota.

Ingredients

3/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 pork tenderloin (1 pound)
1 tablespoon butter
1 medium tart apple, sliced
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup white wine or additional broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons thawed apple juice concentrate
Chopped fresh parsley, optional

Directions

Mix the first five ingredients. Cut tenderloin crosswise into eight slices; pound each with a meat mallet to 1/2-in. thickness. Sprinkle pork with seasoning mixture.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add apple; cook and stir 3-4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove from pan.
In same pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. In batches, brown pork on both sides; remove from pan.
Add broth and wine to pan, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Mix cornstarch and apple juice concentrate until smooth; stir into broth mixture. Return to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until thickened.
Return pork and apple to pan. Reduce heat to medium; cook, covered, 3-5 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in pork reads 145°. Let stand 5 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with parsley.
