Cinnamon Apple, Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin (sorry, that is the best name I could come up with)

So I like watching The Next Food Network Star, because well, I am a nerd. And sadly, I am teaching my five-year-old to be a nerd too cause she likes to watch it with me. Anyway,I got this idea from an episode where one of the contestants wrapped pork tenderloin in prosciutto.

Mmmmm it looked very tasty. But, I have never seen prosciutto at my local grocery store and I probably couldn't’t afford it anyway. So, I just made my own little somewhat healthier version of wrapped pork tenderloin. I combined the recipe from the show that I watched with this recipe
And here is what I came up with….

Cinnamon Apple, Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin (I have no idea what to call it)


1 Pork Tenderloin (1lb.)
2 Apples, peeled, cored and sliced (I just used what I could find in the fridge)
¼ cup Craisins
1 tsp. Cinnamon
¼ Cup Brown Sugar (more if you like it sweeter)
½ Cup Water
Turkey Bacon (I used 8 slices from the package)

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Mix the brown sugar, craisins and cinnamon together. In a 13x9 baking dish lay pork tenderloin down and then wrap the bacon strips around it (you might need to use toothpicks to get it to stay or just tuck the ends underneath the pork loin). Next take your apple slices and lay them around the pork or on it or just put them in the pan however you want. Pour the water in and then sprinkle the Cinnamon, brown sugar, craisin mix over the pork. Cover the dish and bake for about 30 minutes (depending on how many pounds of pork you have) then uncover it and spoon some of the juices over the pork and then cook it another 10-15 minutes until it reaches 160 degrees. Let it rest for 15 minutes. Then just slice it up and serve.
It was sweet and tender and very yummy.

Family Review
Me: Mmmmm, and I loved the apples and craisins too.
Husband: The meat is good, the apples taste like cobbler. (He acted like that was a bad thing, me, I’ll eat anything that tastes like apple cobbler.)
Five-year-old: First of all when she was eating I said, “what should we call this recipe?” she said “not good pork”. So I asked "don’t you like it?" and she said “a little bit”. So apparently she should have called it “a little bit good pork”.
1-year-Old: Ate some threw some on the floor, ate some threw some on the floor. Then when she was done and I set her on the floor to crawl around she found the pieces she threw on the floor and you can guess what she did....yep she ate them.

This is a picture of my husband's plate. Can you tell he is not a fan of side dishes (or cobbler for that matter.)
