Roast Pork With Applesauce

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 500 degrees; set the oven rack as close to the top of the oven as possible, taking into account the thickness of the pork.

2. 2

   Drain the applesauce in a fine sieve to remove excess liquid.

3. 3

   Line a roasting pan with a double layer of foil, and brush with a little oil.

4. 4

   Sprinkle the roast with salt and pepper, then spread the applesauce evenly over it.

5. 5

   Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper, and roast, checking every 15 minutes or so to make sure the applesauce doesn't burn.

6. 6

   It's fine if it darkens and browns, even turning dark brown, as long as the top doesn't blacken.

7. 7

   After 45 minutes, begin checking the pork with an instant-read thermometer.

8. 8

   When the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees, remove the meat from the oven.

9. 9

   Let it rest 5 minutes, then carve.

10. 10

    Serve the sliced meat with any accumulated juices.
