Why This Recipe Works
We love this recipe because pork roasts are pretty simple to prepare without a lot of fuss. Pork loin is a lean piece of meat that is high in protein yet low in fat, making it a great choice for a pork dinner. Pork goes very well with apples and the gravy compliments the cooked pork nicely. Add in some heavy cream with the apple juice and you have an amazingly delicious pork roast.
