Pork tenderloin has a reputation for being fussy, but this skillet-to-oven method delivers a beautifully seared, juicy roast with surprisingly little effort. The spice rub — turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon — gives the meat a warm, aromatic crust that plays perfectly against the bright, apple-forward pan sauce. Every drop of sweetness in this dish comes from real sources: unfiltered apple cider with no added sugar, a spoonful of honey, and a splash of apple cider vinegar to keep things balanced. That matters a lot when you're avoiding high fructose corn syrup, since bottled sauces, glazes, and even some broths can sneak it in without much fanfare. Using homemade or a carefully sourced bone broth keeps the sauce clean and deeply savory, while the pan drippings and reduced cider create a glossy, restaurant-worthy finish. The whole thing comes together in one skillet, which means less cleanup and more time to enjoy those tender medallions draped in that fragrant thyme-laced sauce.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Pat the pork tenderloin completely dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, stir together the salt, turmeric, ginger, and Ceylon cinnamon, then rub the mixture evenly over all sides of the tenderloin.
Heat the coconut oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the tenderloin and sear, turning every 2 minutes, until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes total.
