Ingredients

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Season each tenderloin with salt and pepper (if using) and garlic. Spread each tenderloin with 1 tablespoon mustard. Place the bread crumbs on a plate and roll the tenderloins carefully in the crumbs, covering completely.
3. Place the tenderloins on a baking sheet lined with foil and bake for 45 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 160 degrees.
4. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray, bring the chopped apples, apple juice, lime juice, and brown sugar to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat slightly, keeping the apples at a slow boil, and cook until reduced and thickened, about 30 minutes. Serve with the pork.
