Instructions
- Mix up the ingredients for the pork loin marinade at least 3 hours before cooking, the longer the better! Place the pork loin in a large plastic bag and pour the marinade over the top. Seal the bag and make sure the pork has the marinade evenly distributed all over it. Refrigerate.
- Let the pork sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before grilling.
- Turn your grill onto high heat. Remove the pork loin from the bag and place on the grill, discard the excess marinade.
- Cook for 7 minutes on the first side with the grill lid down, then flip and grill 6 more minutes with the lid down. Do not open the grill, but turn the grill off and let the pork sit for 5 more minutes before removing. Slice the pork loin to desired thickness.
- Core out the center of the apples, then cut into "doughnut like" slices. Brush with butter then grill on low for 5 minutes on each side. Remove from grill. Warm the honey and stir in a little cinnamon, then brush all over the apples.
- Open the pretzel buns (or cut the rolls) and place on a cookie sheet with the centers facing up. Place a slice of cheese on the bottom slice. Cook under the broiler in the oven just until the cheese starts to melt.
- Remove from oven and top the bottom slice with the pork and apples. Spread your favorite sauce on the top half of the bun and sandwich them together.
Notes
- If you can, start the pork marinating in the fridge the night before. The longer it has to marinate the more flavorful the meat will be.
- Be sure to give the meat time to sit out of the fridge before grilling. This will help the meat cook more evenly and avoid an uncooked center.
- Pick a tart crisp apple for the best flavor. We typically use a honey crisp or pink lady.
- Don't skip on broiling the buns and melting the cheese, this also softens the buns up making the burger taste even better.
