My inspiration for this dish was actually my boyfriend. He swore up and down that he absolutely hated pork tenderloin after his first time having it, so I set out to change that. I knew that he loves stuffing and gravy, as well as pork chops with apple sauce. This gave me the idea to incorporate all those flavors together to make something that would change his mind about pork tenderloin. When he came home from work he took one look at the final product and he immediately wanted to try it, and when he did he LOVED it! He gushed all night about how delicious it was and it has become a staple recipe in my house.
