Instructions
- 1. In a small skillet, saute apple and onion in oil until tender. Add the garlic, salt and pepper; cook 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat.
- 2. Make a lengthwise slit down the center of each tenderloin to within 1/2 in. of bottom. Open tenderloins so they lie flat; cover with plastic wrap. Flatten to 3/4-in. thickness.

- 5. Pour 3/4 cup sauce over tenderloins. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 160°. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with remaining sauce.
