Garlic Thyme Pork Tenderloin with Creamy Cider Sauce

I am always looking for a good pork tenderloin dish and this one came out pretty good.  As I was searching the internet for a pork dish that incorporated apples...this looked like a good one to try.  It's always easy to come up with marinade, I mean, what type of meat is not good stuffed or smothered in garlic, anyway?!  Just the name of this recipe called out to me!  Garlic, Thyme and Apple Cider! PERFECT.  I paired this meal with my homemade applesauce and acorn squash.  As you know, applesauce and pork are like two peas in a pod...  As for the squash, it just made the meal just a perfect fall dish!  So Apples, Squash and Pork...a great meal any night of the week or a dinner party!

2 pork tenderloins.. brush, olive oil, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper over the pork.  Cover and marinate for1-2 hours.  In a pan, sear all sides of the pork before baking.  Bake at 425 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
While pork is baking in a small saucepan, add 2 small diced shallots and 1 tablespoon of butter.  Heat until browned.  Add 1 cup of chicken broth and 1 cup of apple cider and about 1/2 tablespoon of thyme.  Cook on medium heat for about 6 minutes, until sauce reduces.  Add 1/2 cup of heavy cream.  Simmer for another 6 minutes until the sauce thickens.  Serve sauce over pork.  Enjoy :) Servings: About 6
