Pork and apples definitely belong on the same plate. They’re totally complimentary. Add the more potent flavor of balsamic vinegar and you’ve got yourself a great dish, easy enough for a weeknight yet impressive enough for company.
And the bonus – this dish is really, really good for you. I served it with spinach and garlic roasted potatoes. Try it soon!
