Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds boneless pork loin
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup dry white table wine
1/4 cup honey

Rub pork loin with olive oil, pepper, half of ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon. Combine remaining half of spices with wine, lemon juice and honey; stir in apple wedges. Preheat oven to 350°F. Place pork in shallow baking pan. Roast to an internal temperature of 155°F, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven, cover and keep warm; let rest for 10-15 minutes. Reserve all juices. Heat apple mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and simmer until apples are tender, about 5 minutes. Add any pork juices, simmer a few minutes more. Remove from heat.
