Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. Add minced garlic and deglaze with a splash of brandy if desired.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crispy bacon mixture with diced apples, dried cranberries, thyme, and rosemary.
  5. Butterfly the pork loin on a clean cutting board to lay flat and evenly thick.
  6. Spread the stuffing mixture evenly over the butterflied pork loin and roll it carefully.
  7. Tie the rolled pork securely at 1-inch intervals with kitchen twine.
  8. Sear the rolled pork loin in the same skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  9. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Pour chicken broth into the roasting pan.
  10. Cover with aluminum foil and roast for approximately 45 minutes until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  11. Allow the roast to rest for 10-15 minutes after removing it from the oven.
  12. Prepare a gravy with the drippings and slice the pork to serve with sweet potatoes.
