Peel apple, quarter, and remove core. Cut into 1/4" dice.
Peel and halve shallot. Slice half into 1/4" rounds and mince other half.Stem sage and slice thinly.Coarsely chop cranberries.Cut twine into four equal pieces.Place pork tenderloin on a separate cutting board and make a lengthwise cut through the center. Stop 1/4" short of opposite edge of tenderloin so pork remains in one piece. Lay pork flat, cover with plastic wrap, and pound out to a 1/4" thickness. Season both sides with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. -
2 Cook the Vegetables and Filling
Toss butternut squash, shallot rounds, half the sage, 1 tsp. olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper together on prepared baking sheet.
Spread into a single layer on one half of prepared baking sheet and roast until squash is tender, 14-16 minutes.While vegetables roast, place a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 1 tsp. olive oil, apple, and minced shallot to hot pan. Stir occasionally until shallot is translucent, 1-3 minutes.Add 1/4 cup water, cranberries, and Dijon. Stir occasionally until apples slightly soften, 1-2 minutes.Transfer to a plate and let cool 3 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Wipe pan clean and reserve. -
