This Apple Butter Braised Pork Loin made with Musselman’s Apple Butter is definitely a dinner to gather around the table for!

I have partnered up with Musselman’s Apple Butter to bring you creative recipes that the average home cook can easily prepare with simple pantry ingredients.

 Musselman’s Apple Butter is a great way to amp up the flavors of many recipes just like my Asian Glazed Salmon, Sweet and Spicy Barbecue Pork Chops, and Sweet and Spicy Barbecue Chicken Sliders!  Of course we enjoy it spread on our morning toast, but also so much more than that.

How to Make Braised Pork Loin:

Pork loin roast has become one of my favorite main dishes.  You must brown the meat to bring out the wonderful flavor.  I love  to use bacon fat for this, but if you can also use olive oil or vegetable oil. I also throw in a sliced onion and minced garlic.

I mix Musselman’s Apple Butter with apple juice and pour it over the roast and onions.  Then I cover it and place it in the oven.  So easy and the results are amazingly delicious!

The flavors of the apple butter, onions and garlic all come together in the oven to make this a great family-friendly dinner that is even fancy enough for special guests.  

If you prefer, you can also let this cook until it is falling apart tender and shred it up for pulled pork tacos or sandwiches.  I’ve prepared it both ways and it disappears in no time at all.

So make some time to gather around the dinner table with your family with this simple and delicious Apple Butter Braised Pork Loin.  I’d love to hear how you get your family gathered up around the dinner table!
