This was the BEST! All I had was Trader Joes cinnamon applesauce so that is what I used. Also, I doubled the ginger and the garlic. My family loved this. I will definitely make this again and again. Thank you very much.

I think this recipe was great, but i changed quite a bit. First, I chopped the tenderloin into sections and marinated in a mixture of vegetable oil, minced garlic, italian dressing, and red cooking wine for 7 hours while i was at work. I dipped the pork pieces in egg, then rolled them in flour mixed with onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. I used 3 1/3 cups sweetened applesauce,1 2/3 cups chopped onion, and added 1/2 cup chopped scallions. I sauteed the scallions with the onion and garlic in white wine. I used the regular amount of soy sauce, and added 1/4 cup worcesteshire sauce. I substituted white wine for the apple juice, tripled the ginger, doubled the garlic, and put in 2 tblsp extra of brown sugar. My boyfriend and I like extra sauce and extra flavor, and we both loved this recipe!

I changed the recipe a fair amount but, I LOVED it. I omitted the flour and sugar and added half the applesauce. I also used about 1.5 tbsp of fresh grated ginger and did the whole recipe stovetop. The sauce is LOVELY and I adored the bite from the ginger. I definitely will make it again. UPDATE: I just made this again with a ~2lb loin roast (whole) by searing the roast then making the sauce in the searing pan with at least triple the ginger (grated fresh) and doubling the soy sauce. Baked uncovered for 1.5 hours, "basting" with the sauce every half hour. It was delicious!

Did care for this. Thought it wasn't worth the 2 cups of applesauce as well as the other ingredients. Not enough strong flavors. Sorry, I wanted to like it and was looking forward to it, but it wasn't very good.

This was just okay. Followed recipe exactly. I thought it would have more flavor to it. I don't think I would make this again. Sorry.

Super easy!! Once everything was in the baking dish I stuck it in the oven and did other things for an hour. Like a lot of the other reviews I did make a couple SLIGHT changes... nothing major. I deglazed the pan with the apple juice since there were so many nice brown bits from the pork. I didn't want to see them burn up while the onions cooked. THEN I added the onions. AFTER the onions, I slowly stirred in a couple tablespoons of the left-over flour to thicken the sauce. Other than that I kept everything else the same. Everyone LOVED it - even the kids! VERY TENDER! Served it with some freshly mashed Yukon Gold Potatoes and steamed julienned carrots.

I think my boyfriend fell in love with me all over again! Great recipe! I had everything here except the Apple juice and sauce, so instead I used a little can of pineapple tidbits and it was great! I will probably use a bit less soy sauce next time and possibly omit the ginger. Thanks for a keeper!
