Preparation

Step 1

Prick tenderloins several times with a fork; sprinkle with salt, and place in an 11x7-inch baking dish. Add apple juice; cover and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes (or chill for 2 hours).

Bake covered at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, and drain.

Stir together apple butter and next 4 ingredients. Brush over pork, and bake uncovered 30 to 45 minutes more or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 160 degrees. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing.

NOTE: If tenderloins are chilled 2 hours, let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before baking.
