Baked Apricot Glazed Pork Tenderloin ~ tender, juicy apricot-white wine glazed pork in 30 minutes. Ideal for weeknights; gourmet enough to entertain with.
Every year I plan to be better organized, but the holidays always have a way of sneaking up on me. Some things I can put off, but dinner isn’t one of them. Baked Apricot Glazed Pork Tenderloin is the answer to time-starved days and really easy entertaining.
Tender, apricot glazed pork is gourmet worthy but perfect for weeknights too because it’s on the table in just 30 minutes.
Apricot Glazed Pork Tenderloin Ingredients:
- pork tenderloin
- salt and pepper
- thyme (dry)
- rosemary
- butter
- olive oil
- white wine (Pinot Grigio used)
- chicken stock
- apricot preserves
- Dijon mustard
- Worcestershire sauce
Instructions:
Separate the tenderloins then pat them dry using a paper towel. Season all over with dried thyme, salt and pepper.
In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add the butter and olive oil. When the butter is melted place the tenderloin in the skillet searing all sides and ends.
Pour the white wine (I used Pinot Grigio) and chicken stock into the skillet and bake at 375° for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl whisk the apricot preserves, Dijon, Worcestershire and Rosemary together. Brush over the top, sides and ends of the pork and bake another 10-15 minutes or until the tenderloins are done.
- 145° medium rare
- 150° medium
- 155-160° well done/no pink
NOTE: Usually one tenderloin is significantly smaller and cooks more quickly. Remove it from the oven when it’s done and continue cooking the larger piece.
Let the pork rest for 5 minutes then slice and enjoy with mashed potatoes, brussels sprouts or even a cold cucumber salad.

Love this recipie! So easy. Made for company and was a great presentation as well as great flavor. By the way, I am not a great fan of pork. If that says anything.

Hey Mary – that makes my day – thanks so much! Haha that says A LOT that you’re not a pork fan. We’re actually having my Honey Balsamic Pork Tenderloin today for dinner, gearing up for cooler weather dishes. Thanks for your kind words. 🙂
