Pre-heat the oven to 220°C
In a large bowl combine apples, blackberries, onion, fresh rosemary, breadcrumbs & melted butter. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
Butterfly the pork loin by making a slit down its length, cutting just deep enough so that the loin opens up to lie flat like a book. Ensure not cut all the way through.
Spoon the stuffing mixture onto the meat and spread evenly. Close up the loin using strings, tie at even intervals so it assumes its original shape. Push in any stuffing that escapes from the ends.
Rub the joint all over with salt and pepper and place in a roasting tray. Cook for 25 minutes, then reduce the heat to 180°C and cook for a further 20 minutes per 450g.
For the apple jus - put the apples, blackberries, sugar and butter in a pan. Cover and cook gently, stirring every so often, for 15-20 minutes, until the apples start to breakdown.
Once the pork is cooked, pour about 100ml of the cooking juices into the apples and stir.
To make the apple crisps, core the apples and slice very thin slices through the middle of the apple (1-2mm thick).
Dust with cinnamon and lay flat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cook in a pre-heated oven at 180°C for 45 minutes, turning halfway through and removing any crisps that have turned brown. Continue cooking until the apples have dried out and are light golden.
To serve, slice the pork and add to a serving dish. Cover the pork with the apple jus and apple crisps.
Plate up and enjoy!
