What I love about this Pork Tenderloin with Apples and Cranberries
I love this Pork Tenderloin with Apples and Cranberries recipe because it has your meat, potatoes, and fruit all in one! We do not eat pork tenderloin that often but I wanted to do something with the apples we have from our apple tree. With just 8 items and a few seasonings you can have a fancy looking feast!

How to make this Pork Tenderloin Dinner
The prep for this meal is very simple. First, you add the potatoes, the diced apples, cranberries, garlic, and shallots to your baking dish.
Next add the pork tenderloin over the potato mixture. Salt and pepper to taste, then pour the wine over the entire dish.
Bake for about 50 minutes or until the potatoes are soft and the internal temperature of the pork tenderloin is at least 145 f degrees. I like to use a meat thermometer.
Some questions answered:
- What is a Shallot? A shallot is a type of onion. You can find them in the produce section. They look like a small onion.
- Can you use different potatoes? Yes just cut them in half if they are larger in size.
- Can you use different type of onion? Yes I just chose shallots because they have a sweeter taste.
- What temperature is safe to eat pork? There is an old conception that pork has to be well done. That isn’t true. Medium is a great temp for pork tenderloin to result in juicy meat without it being dried out! (at least 145 f degrees)
