Instructions
Step 1
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Place the pork in a large roasting pan or heavy pot and season to taste with salt and black pepper. Drizzle the honey over the pork, then arrange the rosemary and thyme on top. Scatter the butter over the pork, then arrange the onions in the pan around the pork.
Step 2
Pour the cider into the pan and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle of the pork reads 120°F, about 45 minutes. Scatter the apples around the pork and continue baking until the apples are tender, the pork is golden brown, and the instant-read thermometer reads 160°F, about 45 minutes more.
Step 3
Remove the pan from the oven and set aside to rest for 20 minutes. Transfer the pork to a platter and cut into thin slices. Scatter the baked apples and onions around the pork, drizzle with the pan juices , and serve.
