Additional questions about pork tenderloin stuffed with apples and walnuts
1. How to prevent the stuffing from overflowing during cooking?

Yes, this stuffed pork tenderloin can be served cold in thin slices for a buffet or summer meal. Accompany it with a fresh salad and a light vinaigrette for a balanced summer dish.

Absolutely! A light sauce made with apple cider or cooking juices with a hint of maple butter Dijon mustard will enhance the flavors even more. You can also consider a pepper sauce or cream sauce for added richness.
