Grilled Pork Loin and Apple Burgers
These Grilled Pork Loin Burgers are delicious! My husband came up with this idea on his own and it is genius. I have to admit, he has some pretty awesome food ideas sometimes. He knows a lot about pairing flavors, and these flavors together were a serious home run!

Pork Loin Marinade:
lemon juice brown sugar dijon mustard soy sauce vegetable oil minced garlic kosher salt and pepper to taste
For the Apples:
apples – we used honey crisp apples butter honey cinnamon
Ingredient Substitutions and Additions
For the marinade try adding some extra spices or fresh herbs like oregano, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, or paprika Instead of apples try fresh or dried cranberries, blueberries, or prunes For topping you could also add lettuce, tomato, cabbage, arugula
The Secret’s in the Sauce
The pork loin is marinated in a sweet dijon sauce and grilled, the apples are grilled and basted in honey and cinnamon, and the pretzel buns are lightly toasted in the oven with a slice of cheddar. We had some friends over and we tried a couple different sauces with these. We couldn’t decide on a favorite so I am including both so you can decide which you like best!The first is our tangy (and a little spicy) chipotle sauce, and the second is our sweet and yummy honey mustard sauce. Both were really good, you can’t go wrong!
Make it a Meal or an Appetizer
We served these for dinner with a side of fries. These were really tasty with our sweet potato fries, but if sweet potato isn’t your thing you could also try them with our potato wedges or loaded potato wedges!You can make these as a regular size burger with burger pretzel buns or make them as sliders with pretzel rolls. The sliders would make an awesome game day appetizer! Read Next: Quick and Easy Dinner Ideas
