Pork Tenderloin With Applesauce

Using a sharp knife, cut a lengthwise slit down the center of each tenderloin, almost to the bottom, to form a pocket. Place in a non-metal baking dish. Pour apple juice into pockets and over tenderloins; cover dish. Marinate 2 hours in refrigerator.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray 15-inch by 10-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

In a small bowl, combine applesauce, peanuts, salt, fennel seed, and pepper; blend well. Spoon mixture into tenderloin pockets. Close pockets with wooden toothpicks.

Place tenderloins in prepared pan. Roast 30 minutes, until a meat thermometer registers 155 degrees. Remove from oven; let stand 10 minutes. Remove toothpicks and slice.
