Apple Juice Marinated Pork Tenderloin

Raise your hand if you’re a grilling enthusiast (*waves hand excitedly*). That’s right. My name is Jessy and I love grilled food. My husband and I are those people who even grill in the winter. And around here it’s winter way more than it’s summer. So when mother nature finally provides nice weather you can bet that we are getting in as much grilling as possible. If you’re not a grill master or you prefer more of a fix it and forget it method, you can try out a pork loin crockpot recipe, or an air fryer ribeye.

Since I’m always looking for new recipes that feature ingredients that I already have on hand, you can imagine my excitement when the idea struck for this Apple Juice Marinated Pork Tenderloin. 

Many of the moms that I know often have apple juice in their refrigerator. While I’m personally more of a cranberry juice kind of gal, my husband favors apple juice and I sometimes find myself picking some up on my weekly grocery trip. 

So I got to thinking, apples and pork go very well together. These guys are buddies and with good reason. While I still have about a month before the local apples get amazing, I just could not get my mind off of apples and pork. And that’s when I remembered that big, old jug of apple juice hanging out on my refrigerator door.

The great thing about this recipe is that your prep work involves minimal chopping and throwing things into a bag to marinate before it’s time to cook it. I suspect this would freeze quite well. It took me five measly minutes to prep this and it also grilled up in no time. Give it a shot!
