Directions
Preheat oven broiler on high temperature, with the rack 3 inches from heat source.
Cover broiler pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Spray foil lightly with cooking spray. Set aside.
Cut 8 slices (pork rounds), each 1½ inches thick, from the center of the pair of pork tenderloins. Refrigerate or freeze the ends for another use. Place pork rounds on the foil-covered broiler pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside a few minutes while broiler heats.
Meanwhile, heat ½ cup water to boiling in a medium nonstick pan. Slice cored apples from top to bottom in ¼-inch wide pieces. Add apples, raisins, walnuts, and cinnamon to boiling water. Reduce heat to medium. Cover. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft and easily pierced with a fork. Set aside until pork is cooked.
Broil pork tenderloins for 5–10 minutes per side (for a minimum internal temperature of 160 °F).
To serve, place two pork rounds on each dinner plate. Top with one-fourth of the applesauce.
