Directions
Apple Smoked Pork Loin,In less than three hours time a luscious smoked pork loin can be prepared and served to your hungry guests. Instead of smoking for hours and hours until the pork is falling apart tender, the pork loin is smoked until it just reaches the stage of medium done…about 155 degrees Fahrenheit. A whole pork loin is one of two strips of meat that lie on each side of the porker’s backbone. Many folks confuse the loin with the tenderloin. The difference is that the loin is on the outer side of the body cavity…the tenderloin is on the inside. The tenderloin is smaller and more tender than the loin. However, the loin is still pretty darned tender. And less expensive, too.,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.,We really liked this recipe. I didn’t have paprika or chili powder so it wasn’t exactly like the recipe as it is given, but how we did it really worked! I think I’ll just leave those 2 ingredients out given the one bad review that those ingredients didn’t work for them. Anyways, really good!
