Stuffed Pork Loin with Sausage Apple Sourdough Stuffing My Most Impressive Dinner Yet

Hey everyone! 🍎🐷

I wanted to make something special this weekend and went all in on this stuffed pork loin recipe I found on Reddit. It’s got a flavorful sausage apple walnut sourdough stuffing, wrapped in juicy pork, and finished with an apple butter BBQ glaze. It looked intimidating but was so worth the effort. The house smelled unbelievable while it roasted!

This is definitely “company coming over” food. My family was very impressed.

How It Turned Out

Toasting the sourdough cubes and fennel seeds gave the stuffing such a nice depth. The whiskey reduction added a subtle warmth. Butterflying and rolling the pork was easier than I thought, and the final sear + roast gave beautiful color and flavor.

The apple butter BBQ sauce at the end was the perfect sweet-tangy touch.

Directions

• Make stuffing: Toast bread and fennel. Brown sausage. Cook onion, celery, apple in butter. Add garlic, herbs, whiskey. Mix with bread, sausage, walnuts, broth, egg, and seasonings.
• Butterfly pork, season inside, spread stuffing, roll tightly and tie with kitchen twine.

This stuffed pork loin is rich, juicy, and packed with flavor. The stuffing is next-level with the sourdough and whiskey. It feels fancy but is doable if you take your time.
