PAN-ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH APPLES AND BOURBON

Steps:

• Slice the pork tenderloin into 6 to 7 medallions that are 1/2-to 3/4-inch thick, depending on the shape of the tenderloin.
• Combine the salt, coriander, fennel and pepper in a small bowl and mix well.
• Spread the sliced pork medallions on a plate or baking sheet and season evenly on both sides with the salt mixture (you may not use it all).
• Spread the flour on plate. Dip each of the pork medallions in the flour and pat off any of the excess.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Cook the pork medallions in batches, adding more oil and butter as needed, browning them well on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Remove to a rack to rest. It's ok if the pork is not cooked all the way through at this stage, it will finish cooking in the sauce.
• When all the pork has been browned, pour off the fat in the pan into a small bowl. Add the remaining tablespoon butter and melt over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, thyme sprigs and some salt to the pan and cook until the shallots are softened and starting to get a little color, about 1 minute. Then add the apples and saute, stirring occasionally and adding more butter if necessary, until tender, 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Remove the pan from the heat, add the bourbon and stir to cook off some of the alcohol. Return the pan to the heat and cook, stirring, until reduced by half. Remove the thyme sprigs. Return the pork to the pan along with the chicken stock and season with salt. Simmer until well thickened and reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon the pork and apples onto plates and drizzle with the sauce.

BOURBON BAKED APPLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Core the apples - but not all the way - using an apple corer or a paring knife. You want to cut about 2/3 of the way down to remove the seeds if you don't have an apple corer. Carefully cut a circle around the stem and cut about an inch downward. From there, use the same knife or a spoon, remove the core and the seeds. In a bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, flour, salt and cinnamon. Add softened butter and vanilla, and mix thoroughly with a fork and your hands until it becomes clumped together. If desired, you can also add nuts here! Stuff the mixture equally inside each apple. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon if desired. Place apples in a large baking dish. Pour apple cider and bourbon in the bottom of the pan, then bake for about 45 minutes. This will depend on the exact size of your apples (if using small/medium apples, start by baking for 30 minutes), but it is easy to keep an eye on them because a few times during the cooking process (every 10 minutes or so), you want to spoon the cider/bourbon mixture overtop of each apple. Once the skin looks all wrinkly and slightly darker in color, remove from the oven. Serve immediately with ice cream on top.
