My son said to rate this 4.5 or 5. The last hour of cooking I followed another reviewer by drizzling the apple juice and maple syrup over the pork loin and the onion/apple mixture. I used a lite syrup and it worked fine. The whole family and our guest loved this recipe. Definitely will do again in the fall.

This was wonderful! Everyone loved pork but hated the apples. I still gave it 5 stars because without the apples the pork would not be as good & I will still use the apples again.

We loved this recipe! I marinaded the roast with the herbs for close to 24 hours, then put it and the apples/onion in the crockpot since it was a weekday and I didn't have time to roast it. I didn't have maple syrup so we skipped that step and still, it was delicious. The apples got really soft in the crockpot (still delicious) so if you are making it in a crockpot, I'd recommend cooking the roast for 3-4 hours before putting the apples in and they probably would be the perfect consistency.

I actually used a three pound pork butt roast but kept everything the same. I did use a quality Canadian maple syrup. Absolutely off the hook. We absolutely loved this roast. I served this with a homemade vegetable baked stuffing and drizzled the "gravy" over the top of it. HUGE hit. This recipe's a keeper.

Made this for 24 people last night for holiday dinner using 2 five lb roasts. I was a bit nervous trying a new recipe, but everyone loved it, every picky kid eaters! I followed th recipe exactly, and didn't find it too sweet at all. The gravy is definitely an au jus, but tasty. Thank you this, several people asked for the recipe and I will definaltely make it again!

Every bite was very good except where the garlic was. The garlic was sooo strong, it was nasty. Overall this is a very good recipe, but I will definitely just add a tsp or so of MINCED garlic to the rub.

Absolutely delicious. This is worthy of a christmas dinner presentation. The flavors of the onions, apples, and herb/spices came together better than I could have imagined. I used apple cider from the local orchard and make a pork gravy with the drippings and extra cider juice to pour over the top. This was the best pork loin I have ever made. Yum. Yum. Yum.
