Sweet spices coat lean pork tenderloin, while apples get a
savory treatment with shallots and thyme. Serve with a
spinach salad.

1/2 cup apple mixture)

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pound pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut crosswise into 12 pieces

2 tablespoons butter
2 cups thinly sliced unpeeled Braeburn or Gala apple  I used Honeycrisp
1/3 cup thinly sliced shallots
