Roast Pork with Apples and Onions

Pork and apples go so well together.  Usually I make pork chops with applesauce, but today I wanted to make something different with the same flavors.  I bought a pork roast from Dine's Farms and wanted to let the natural flavor of the meat do the talking. 

Ingredients:

1 2.5-3 lb pork loin roast
4-5 apples, cut into thick slices. Use your apple slicer/corer if you have one
1 medium sized onion, sliced thinly
1 TBS poultry seasoning
1 TBS cinnamon
1 cup chicken stock
Salt
Pepper

Here's how:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Place the roast into the middle of a roasting pan.  Coat the pan with foil to aid with clean up.

Arrange the apples and onions around the pork.
Meat and veggies arranged in pan
Sprinkle the seasonings on the meat and apples.
Seasonings added
Add the stock to the bottom of the pan.

Salt and pepper the entire pan.

Place the meat in the oven and cook for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, until the meat is 165 degrees F.  Check the liquid in the bottom of the pan during cooking.  You may need to add more halfway through.

Remove the meat from the oven, let rest for 10-15 minutes.  The  meat should rise to 170 degrees F.
Meat is done and veggies are soft.
Slice and serve.

If you eat carbs, this is great served over pork fried rice from the local Chinese restaurant.
