4-8
ingredients
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
- 4 -6 lbs whole pork loin
directions
- This recipe begins with a light dry rub seasoning, continues with some apple wood smoke flavor, and ends with a tasty apple-cinnamon sauce.
- Begin by removing all of the membrane (silver skin) and excess fat from the outside of the pork loin. Rub the loin with olive oil, then lightly season it with a bit of this dry rub mixture.
- Smoke the loin (using apple wood) at 225 degrees Fahrenheit for two to three hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees. Remove the smoked pork loin to a platter, covering lightly with foil and a kitchen towel. Let it rest for fifteen minutes before serving with the apple cinnamon sauce.
- Apple Cinnamon Sauce.
- Finely chop two large or three medium sweet apples (Fuji or Gala are great varieties for this) and place in a saucepan. Add one tablespoon sugar, one-half teaspoon each of cinnamon, paprika, salt and white pepper, and two tablespoons rice wine vinegar. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat, then lower to a simmer. Cook gently until the apples are tender.
- Slice the smoked pork loin and top with a spoonful of the sauce.

Three stars because I feel that the recipe was poorly written. I made the rub out of the first four ingredients, onion powder, paprika, salt and white pepper. I made the apples with the cinnamon, sugar, and the rice wine vinegar. I did not put cinnamon on the pork and I did not put paprika in the apples. It did come out very good this way.
