3. Transfer pork to a large baking pan. Add butter to the hot skillet with the pork juices, then add apples, onions, and carrots. Add some salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until apples are browned, about 5 minutes.

 
4. Transfer apples and veggies to baking pan around pork. Sprinkle everything with thyme and rosemary.

 
5. Cover baking pan with foil and bake for about 45 minutes. I took mine out when a thermometer placed in the center registered at 160 F.
