An impressive and equally delicious dinner recipe for special occasions and holidays! My Apple and Bacon Stuffed Pork Loin with pan-drippings gravy will be a hit with everyone at your next dinner party! To make this pork roll, I first flatten the loin meat, then fill it with bacon, spinach, garlic, apples, and cranberries. The flavor combination is amazing! I then roast the pork loin with more garlic and fresh herbs, then serve it with an easy, 4 ingredient gravy.
