Roast Pork With Applesauce - pork loin

Method

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees; set the oven rack as close to the top of the oven as possible, taking into account the thickness of the pork.
• Drain the applesauce in a fine sieve to remove excess liquid.
• Line a roasting pan with a double layer of foil, and brush with a little oil.
• Sprinkle the roast with salt and pepper, then spread the applesauce evenly over it.
• Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper, and roast, checking every 15 minutes or so to make sure the applesauce doesn't burn.
• It's fine if it darkens and browns, even turning dark brown, as long as the top doesn't blacken.
• After 45 minutes, begin checking the pork with an instant-read thermometer.
• When the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees, remove the meat from the oven.
• Let it rest 5 minutes, then carve.
• Serve the sliced meat with any accumulated juices.
