Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, ginger powder, thyme, black pepper, rosemary, and salt. Set aside.
-
Prepare the Pork Roast:
- Brush the pork roast with vegetable oil, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- Rub the spice mixture generously all over the meat, covering it entirely.
-
Prepare the Apples and Onions:
- Peel, core, and slice the baking apples.

Roasting:

-
Slow Roasting:
- After 10 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
- Continue baking for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the roast reaches 155°F (68°C). This slow roasting ensures tender, juicy meat with perfectly infused flavors.

Resting and Gravy Preparation:
- Once the roast is done, remove it from the oven and transfer it to a serving platter.
- Cover the roast loosely with foil and allow it to rest for 5 minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness.
- Meanwhile, using a blender, puree the roasted apples and onions until smooth.
- Pour the water and apple juice into the roasting pan to deglaze, scraping up all the flavorful bits.
- Strain the liquid into a small saucepan, discarding any solids.
- Heat the strained liquid to a rapid simmer and add the pureed apples and onions.
-
Gravy Thickening:
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
- Gradually drizzle the cornstarch mixture into the simmering liquid, whisking constantly until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. Adjust the amount of cornstarch mixture as needed.
-
Serving:
