Spiced Pork Tenderloin with Sautéed Apples

Made this one tonight and it's really very good. The sweet treatment on the pork and savory treatment on the apples is a nice contrast. Also, one tip - make this in a stainless or cast iron skillet, so you get some nice browned bits into the sauce. It feels like a good Fall dish.

• 3/8 teaspoon salt


• 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander


• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


• 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon


• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg


• 1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut crosswise into 12 pieces


• Cooking spray


• 2 tablespoons butter


• 2 cups thinly sliced unpeeled Braeburn or Gala apple


• 1/3 cup thinly sliced shallots


• 1/8 teaspoon salt


• 1/4 cup apple cider


• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

1. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Combine first 5 ingredients; sprinkle spice mixture evenly over pork. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add pork to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove pork from pan; keep warm.
2. Melt butter in pan; swirl to coat. Add apple slices, 1/3 cup shallots, and 1/8 teaspoon salt; sauté 4 minutes or until apple starts to brown. Add apple cider to pan, and cook for 2 minutes or until apple is crisp-tender. Stir in thyme leaves. Serve apple mixture with the pork.
