Apple Stuffed Tenderloin With Cinnamon Raisin
Sauce

=== STUFFED TENDERLOIN ===
1 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin, trimmed
  of all
visible fat
2 medium oranges
1 medium apple, cored, chopped
2 Tbs finely-chopped onions
2/3 cup fine dry plain bread crumbs
=== SAUCE ===
1 cup unsweetened apple juice
1 Tbs cornstarch
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 cup raisins

Directions
1 To make the stuffed pork tenderloin: Preheat the oven
   to 425 degrees. Cut a pocket in the side of the tenderloin by cutting
   a lengthwise slit from one side to almost the other side and stopping
   about 1/2 inch from each of the tapered ends. Set the tenderloin
   aside.
2 Finely shred the peel from the oranges and set aside.
   Then squeeze 3 tablespoons of juice from the oranges. In a medium
   bowl, combine the orange juice and apples. Set the apple mixture
   aside.

3 Spray an unheated small skillet with no-stick spray.
   Add the onions. Cook and stir over medium heat until tender. Then add
   the onions and bread crumbs to the apple mixture. Toss until combined.
4 Spoon the bread mixture into the pocket of the
   tenderloin. Securely close the pocket with wooden toothpicks. Place
   the tenderloin on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Insert a meat
   thermometer into the meat portion only. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or
   until the thermometer registers 160 degrees. Let stand about 5
   minutes before slicing.
5 To make the sauce: In a small saucepan, use a wire
   whisk to stir together 2 tablespoons of the apple juice and the
   cornstarch. Then stir in the remaining apple juice. Cook and stir
   over medium heat until boiling. Stir in the reserved orange peel and
   cinnamon. Add the raisins and cook for 5 minutes, stirring
   occasionally.
6 To serve, slice the tenderloin. Spoon the sauce over
   the slices.
