Basically, take trimmed pork loin or pork roast, coat with herbs.
(In a pinch, can substitute dried thyme alone for herbes de Provence.)
In heavy ovenproof pot, brown on all sides in butter.
Remove pork. Put unpeeled apple (4 to 5 apples) slices in pot. Season with salt and pepper, and 1 tsp sugar.
Return pork loin to bed of apples in pot. Bake uncovered at 375 F for 1 hour, until internal temperature reaches 150 F.
Remove from oven. Allow to rest for 10 minutes, carve and serve.

Better yet, buy the book and follow the recipes there. You will be glad to have this book.
