Prep 5 mins

Cook 15 mins

Low-fat

Cut the pork into 3cm thick slices. Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan, add the pork, then fry on both sides until lightly browned, about 5 mins in total. Lift out of pan and set aside. Add apples to the pan, then cook for 3-4 mins until starting to soften.
Stir in the garlic, maple syrup, vinegar and 3 tbsp water, bring to the boil, then return the meat to the pan along with any juices. Simmer for a few more mins, stirring until the pork is cooked through and the sauce is thick and sticky. Stir in the wholegrain mustard, then serve with plain or Crispy onion rice (recipe below).

Save some money

For a great-value meal, replace the pork with a 400g pack pork sausages, sliced into chunks. Cook for 10-12 mins before adding the apple slices.

Crispy onion rice

Put 200g basmati rice in a pan and cover with cold water. Stir in 2 tsp stock powder or 1 crumbled stock cube. Bring to the boil, stir, then simmer for 10 mins until the water has almost evaporated. Put a lid on, leave for 5 mins, then fluff up with a fork. Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsp sunflower oil in a frying pan, add 1 thinly sliced onion, then fry until browned and crisp. Fold into the rice and serve.

Not used to sweet and savoury however it was quite nice. Not sure the rice is worth the effort though.

Great - I made a few changes; First I sauted the garlic in the oil, then added the pieces of pork. and added one more apple and some honey( the maple syrup didn't give it that much bang).

Check out my recipe for sausages with honey and mustard, apples and potatoes. Very similar, but the results, I think are much nicer. This recipe was very tasty though.

This was a nice recipe and very tasty. I thought the apples were brilliantly sweet and sticky and went really well with the sticky rice. I have to say though that I prefer my pork with a bit more sauce though and this recipe doesn't give off much sauce. If I was to make again, I would try it with a lighter tasting meat like turkey. Probably won;t make this again with the pork.

It's a pity the maximum star rating is only 5 because this deserves a 6! I thought it was fantastic. I served it with the crispy onion rice and found that was worth the extra effort. A wonderful meal that I shall be cooking again.

I tried this recipe with premium brand bramley apple and pork sausages cut into chunks and it worked really well. The sauce could have been a bit thicker but the taste was great! I might try making this again with a tsp cornflour mixed with the sauce or simmer it for slightly longer.

As I didn't have the apples I substituted pineapple. Excellent !! We like lots of sauce so I doubled the sauce mixture. Will definitely retry it with apples. I particularly liked the crispy onion rice and added a few chopped mushrooms.

Very good basic meal. Used honey instead of Maple syrup, and just had with plain rice. Cheap!

Delicious particularly with the onion rice. I had run out of maple syrup in the store cupboard, so used golden syrup instead. Hugely successful and second helpings by everyone! The only negative is that it took longer to cook than I was expecting. Worth it though

Loved it. The rice was nice change and easy to do. Though I do use a rice cooker, my kids loved the rice. A great idea for pork and very tasty.. Served it it with cabbage. A big hit.

Very yum, but sickly sweet. Would reduce the amount of syrup next time.

Made this the other night and it was delicious! Very sweet but I think it goes well with the pork. I did mashed potatoes but next time I would try it with the rice. I also doubled the sauce recipe so there was enough to put on the potatoes too!
