Northeast Pork Roast

3 pounds pork tenderloin
3 apples, cut in wedges
2 onions, quartered
several cloves of garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
2 Tbsp Italian seasoning
1 c apple juice, unsweetened
2 Tbsp olive oil

In a pan large enough to hold the roast, place the apples, onion, and garlic. Cover them with the juice and 1 c water, and place the roast on top. Brush the roast with oil, then sprinkle it with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and pepper. Place in a 350 oven for about an hour, or until the roast comes out done on a meat thermometer. The drippings make a nice, slightly sweet gravy, and the apples and onions make a good side dish.
