Instructions
-
01
Trim excess fat from the pork loin and pat dry with paper towels. This helps the spice rub adhere better and promotes even cooking.
-
-
02
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix well to create a flavorful spice rub.
-
-
03
Rub the entire surface of the pork loin with olive oil, then generously apply the spice rub, massaging it into the meat to ensure full coverage.
-
04
Set up your Masterbuilt 800 Digital Charcoal Gravity Series Smoker and preheat it to 275°F (135°C). Make sure it reaches a stable temperature before proceeding.
-
05
Place the pork loin directly on the grill grates. Insert a meat thermometer probe into the thickest part of the loin.
-
-
06
Smoke the pork until the internal temperature reaches about 145°F (63°C), approximately 2 to 3 hours depending on the size of the loin.
-
07
In the last hour of cooking, place the quartered apples around the pork loin on the grill. This allows the apples to soften and caramelize, absorbing some of the pork's flavors.
-
08
Mix apple cider and water in a bowl. Use this mixture to baste the pork and apples occasionally during the final hour of cooking to keep them moist and flavorful.
-
09
The pork is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). The apples should be tender and lightly charred.
-
10
Remove the pork loin and apples from the smoker. Let the pork rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This helps retain the juices.
-
-
11
Slice the pork and serve with the roasted apples on the side.
