    Welcome to another fun-filled episode of Natasha Loves Cooking with Alcohol! I'm not a big drinker at all... actually I'm such a lightweight that it's hilarious. Ask my family about the time I had half a glass of champagne then cried when I wasn't seated next to my sister. Actually, don't. I do love to cook with booze, though. It really enhances so many dishes. Brandy and cream go so well together.

    The apples add just enough sweetness to this sauce. I'm not one of those people who particularly enjoys adding fruit to savory dishes, but pork and apples are always a winning combination.

    This is one of my favorite kinds of dishes - it's simple, doesn't take forever to cook, uses few ingredients, and tastes like something you might order at a restaurant.

    I've been making this dish for years in various iterations. This particular version is as simple as I can make it while still retaining the taste. I used to make this with a lot of butter, and sometimes added thyme to it... but none of that really improves it, in my opinion.

        Hi Amy! I'm not sure I understand your question? This is a very early recipe and I have not cooked it since 2015, so that's why the recipe card isn't quite as detailed as my newer work. I'd probably use a tenderloin that's around 1 pound if that's what you're asking?
