PORK ROAST WITH APPLES

1 Pork roast ( 4 pounds)

Coarse salt and ground pepper

4 Gala or Fuji apples, halved

1. Let pork sit at room temperature 30 minutes.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Season pork with salt and pepper.  In a large roasting pan, arrange apples, cut side down, in two rows in center of pan.  Place pork, fat side up, on top of apples.  Add wine and 1 cup water to pan.  Roast until pork is golden and an instant-read thermometer into center reads 145 degrees, 1 to 1 3/4 hours.  Transfer pork and apples to a platter.  Loosely tent pork with foil and let rest 30 minutes.  Cut roast into slices and serve with apples.
