Ingredients:
1 large pork tenderloin (about 14 ounces)
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons whole grain Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1 large onion, sliced
2 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1/2 cup dry white wine or apple cider
Preheat oven to 450F. Season pork with salt and pepper. Heat 2
tablespoons oil in large nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high
heat. Add pork and sear until all sides are brown, turning
occasionally, about 5 minutes. Transfer pork to plate. Cool slightly.
Spread mustard over top and sides of pork; press fennel seeds into
mustard. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. Add onion slices
and apples; saute over medium heat until golden, about 5 minutes.
Spread evenly in skillet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place
pork atop apple-onion mixture.
Transfer skillet to oven and roast until apple-onion mixture is soft
and brown and meat thermometer inserted into center of pork registers
150F, about 15 minutes. Transfer pork to platter and tent with foil.

Meanwhile, pour white wine over apple-onion mixture in skillet. Stir
mixture over high heat until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Cut

mixture onto plates. Top with pork and serve.
