Tonight I wanted comfort food.
Pork and baked apples sounded perfect. Throw a little onion, some cinnamon and salt and pepper into the mix and you’ve got an easy, yet delicious, dinner.
Ryan was a great help and chopped up the onions so I didn’t have to cry my eyes out. We sautéed half of a large onion while I cut a large Granny Smith apple into slices.
After spraying a glass baking dish with cooking spray, I lined the dish with half of the chopped onion before layering half of the apple slices on top.
I then placed the pork on top of the apples, seasoned it with salt and pepper, sprinkled the remaining onions on top before adding the remaining apple slices and a hefty sprinkle of cinnamon.
I placed the pork into the oven to roast at 375 for about 25 minutes. I used really thin pork which made the cooking time nice and short.
The smell of the apples and cinnamon made our tummies grumble as we waited for the dish finish roasting.
It was worth the wait. I went back for seconds and enjoyed every bite.
I’m hoping to hop in bed nice and early tonight to be well rested for tomorrow. Hoping to return to work!

I hope you feel better!!I’ve just had the flu myself, what helped me most was 1)cutting out all dairies from my diet (hard, but really really helpful!) 2)drinking a lot of ginger+lemon+honey infusion…it’s good too 🙂 I Hope it helps!
