Method

Pork: Preheat oven to 350 degrees; spray a 9x13" baking pan with nonstick spray. Brush pork loin with olive oil; sprinkle with pepper, salt, and first amounts of ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon. Place roast on rack in baking pan; bake uncovered about 1 1/4 hours or until internal temperature reaches 155 degrees. Remove from oven; cover with foil and let stand 10-15 minutes. Apples: Meanwhile heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion and apple wedges until just tender, about 5 minutes. Combine remaining ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon and sprinkle over apple mixture, tossing gently to coat. Add broth and maple syrup; bring just to a simmer. Strain and add juices from pork roast; heat through. To serve, slice roast and top each serving with apple mixture and sauce. (If desired, remove apples and onions and boil sauce to thicken slightly before serving.)

 

Notes: This is the meal most often requested for special occasion dinners in my family. It fills the house with a wonderful aroma of spices as it cooks.
