Pork Tenderloin with Applebutter
This is a great easy entrée for a dinner party. The leftovers make great lunches.
Begin with a 2-4 lb pork tenderloin roast. Remove all visible fat. Cut ¾ (leave about 1" uncut) so you can open up the center of the tenderloin. All a layer of apple butter and chopped garlic salt pepper, a little hot sauce if you like it spicy, rosemary and any other favorite spices you like to the center. Close and top the roast with the same ingredients. Roast the tenderloin in a baking pan with a rack to prevent the tenderloin from standing in drippings, at 350 for an hour or until done.
