Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Spiced Apple Compote

Autumn always signifies comfort cooking, to us. We take the slow cookers out of storage, pour over casserole and pasta recipes, lay in a cord of firewood, and read cookbooks, nestled under a throw during the evening’s cooler temperatures. The former weight-loss resort (now closed) Green Mountain at Fox Run in Ludlow, Vermont, developed this tasty entree many years ago — it’s savory, fit and healthy and represents the best of Autumn.  The marinade and compote is just as tasty on boneless chicken and turkey, as well.
