- 2 whole pork tenderloins (1 lb. each)

- 1 C. apple cider

For stuffing: Heat cider with butter and sage; stir in remaining ingredients, mixing well to moisten. Cut each tenderloin in half lengthwise, not quite all the way through; flatten out. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread apple stuffing over one flattened loin; top with second loin and hold closed with toothpicks. Place in shallow baking dish. Pour apple cider over meat and lay bacon strips on top. Bake at 325 degrees, uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours or until well done. Remove toothpicks before serving. If desired, make gravy from pan drippings.
