Ready in 1 hour, 25 minutes.

Ingredients:

• 5 tablespoons butter
• 1 apple, peeled, cored, and chopped
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 celery stalk, diced
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 5 cups dry bread crumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 (3 pound) boneless rolled pork loin roast

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.  Stir in the apple, onion, celery, and walnuts, and cook for 5 minutes until vegetables are tender.  Mix in the applesauce, water, and breadcrumbs.  Cook and stir until the breadcrumbs have absorbed the liquid.  Season with cinnemon, kosher salt, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger.
3. Unroll the pork roast, and place in a baking dish.  Spoon the stuffing mixture over the roast.  Arrange any excess stuffing around the roast.  Roll the roast so that the fatty side is on top, and tie with kitchen twine.
4. Bake 45 to 50 minutes in preheated oven, to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).  

Jason and Erin made this in the Fall of 2013 for Jason's family and everyone loved it.  We made it again a few weeks later for Erin's family, which also received raved reviews.  This is a great autumn meal!
