ROASTED PORK WITH APPLE & MUSTARD SAUCE

1 (1.5 lb.) boneless pork sirloin roast

 4oz unsweetened apple sauce (I used handy pack apple sauce)
1 tbsp. cider vinegar

1 1/2 tbsp. honey

1 tbsp. Dijon style mustard

1/4 tsp. paprika

1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

3 apples, seeds out and cut in wedges

1 tbsp. cornstarch

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Place roast in shallow roasting pan. Stir together apple sauce, mustard, soy sauce, vinegar, honey,  and seasonings; pour over pork. Roast 40 minutes, occasionally basting pork with honey mustard mixture.

Add apple wedges to pan; continue to cook for additional 30-45 minutes, until inside temperature of roast is 155-160 degrees. Remove from oven; strain juices into saucepan into sauce pan and add water to make 1 cup.  Stir together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water into bowl; add to saucepan; cook and stir over high heat until thickened and bubbly. Slice roast; serve with apples and sauce. Serves 4
