Ingredients

Preparation

Step 1

Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 425F. Combine salt, garlic, paprika and pepper in small bowl. Rub over roast. Transfer pork to rack set in shallow pan. Roast 1 hour.

Meanwhile, prepare glaze. Mince onion. Add apple jelly and dry mustard, mixing for 5 seconds, if in processor.

Brush pork generously with glaze. Reduce oven temperature to 375F and continue roasting until thermometer inserted in center of meat registers 170G, about 1-1 1/2 hours. Remove roast from oven. Cover with foil. Let stand 30 minutes before slicing.

Meanwhile, combine apples and sugar in large bowl and toss lightly. Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add apples, reduce heat to medium and cook, lifting and turning apples with spatula occasionally until caramelized, about 25 minutes.

Slice pork and arrange on heated platter. Surround with apples and serve.
