Creamy Brandy Apple Pork Tenderloin

This easy creamy brandy apple pork tenderloin recipe has a rich apple and brandy cream sauce and tender pork! It has very few ingredients yet tastes restaurant quality.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 Granny Smith apple (peeled & chopped)
• 1/2 medium onion (chopped)
• 1 pound pork tenderloin
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt & pepper (to taste)
• 1/3 cup brandy
• 1 cup heavy/whipping cream

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Add the olive oil to a skillet over medium heat. Add the apples and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned (about 12-15 minutes).
2. 2Meanwhile, trim any fat from the pork tenderloin and then cut it into 1/2" medallions. Season the pork with the garlic powder and some salt & pepper.
3. 3Once the apples and onions are cooked, transfer them to a plate.
4. 4If the pan is looking really dry, add another small splash of olive oil. Add the pork to the pan and cook on each side for about a minute, then transfer it to the same plate as the apples and onions.
5. 5Increase the heat to medium-high and add the brandy to the skillet. Let it bubble until reduced by half (about 1-2 minutes), scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
6. 6Stir in the cream, then add the pork, apples, and onions back into the pan.
7. 7Cook for another five minutes or until the pork is cooked through and the sauce has thickened up a bit (reduce the heat as needed so it's bubbling but not boiling furiously).
8. 8Season with extra salt & pepper as needed and serve immediately.
