14by12by2inch roasting pan. Rub salt all over
loin. Smear with 1 tablespoon of the mustard over top
of loin. Roast for 20 minutes. Move loin around with
wooden spatula so it won't stick. Roast 15 minutes
more. Toss the lemon juicecoated apples with the oil,
then add the apples, juices and all, to the roasting
pan, spreading them out all around the loin. Roast 10
minutes. Turn apples gently as they will be soft.
Roast 10 minutes more.
In total, the loin should roast 55 minutes or until
meat is done. (160 degrees on an internal meat
thermometer) The meat may still be slightly pink, but
this is fine. Don't overcook. Remove loin to a
platter. Snip off strings If using cream and
optional mustard, combine and stir the mixture
carefully into apples. Let meat rest 10 15 minutes
before slicing. Place apples around roast.
