Ingredients
- Stuffing:
- 3c peeled and diced apple
- 2c crumbled bacon
- 1c minced pork loin trimmings (optional)
- 1.5c diced sweet onion
- 1/2c diced celery
- 1 stick butter
- 3/4c brown sugar
- 2c unseasoned bread/Panko crumbs
- Parsley, Italian Seasoning, Garlic Salt and Celery salt
- Apple Glaze:
- 4 oz applesauce
- 6 oz lager beer
- 2 tbl lemon juice
- 2 tbl Brown Sugar
- Grub Rub, garlic salt
Directions
- Butterfly the pork loin, Then pound it out and it's ready for stuffing.
- Sautee the stuffing mix minus the bread crumbs. Once it has cooked down and has lots of juice, add the bread crumbs.
- Lay the stuffing down evenly about a 1/4" thick, leave about an inch on the sides/ends, more on the end to which you are rolling.
- Use some plastic wrap to help roll it up.
- Don't use too much pressure or your stuffing will be forced out of place and you'll not get that pretty picture of a pinwheel when cut.
- Once rolled, seal it up nicely with toothpicks so no stuffing escapes. Inject with 1 tablespoon Fireball.
- Ready to go into the smoker at 250° over Apple wood, and will cook to an IT of 140°
- In a large measuring cup, add the ingredients for the apple glaze. Mix well. During the last hour of smoking, baste with glaze.
Notes
- If not cooking the loin immediately, be sure to cool the stuffing thoroughly before using to avoid creating a breeding ground for food borne pathogens.
