  4. Sear the pork tenderloin on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Remove pork from skillet and set aside.
  6. Add sliced onions and apples to the skillet; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  7. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  8. Stir in chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and thyme; bring to a simmer.
  9. Return pork to the skillet, spoon some sauce over the top.
  10. Transfer skillet to the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
