I don't think that there is any two foods as complementary as pork and apples. This is a dish that brings the two together, complemented further by pecans and a sweet reduction made up of butter, cinnamon and brown sugar. This is actually a very easy dish…

Here is an excellent fall dish that takes advantage of a seasonal fruit, apples, with a great pairing in pork tenderloin. This dish is great for the barbecue, but you could also oven roast it if you choose.

This is an easy recipe and great to have on hand. I make this every year from the apples off of our trees. I then have a quick dessert on hand. You can put it in a pie shell, make a crisp topping, or put it over pancakes or crepes.

Apples are in season right now and I\'m taking full advantage of it. I bought a 2 kilo bag and the first thing I made was my favorite Apple Cinnamon Raisin Oatmeal. I started making this oatmeal as an alternative to the prepackaged one that I loved but we…
