Cider Roasted Pork Loin


I got this recipe from my sister and i believe she got it from cooking light magazine. When i made it, i thought it wasn't thoroughly cooked because it's so juicy and i can't ever get my pork to turn out that way! Also, i had to use 2 (1 pound) pork loins because i could not find 1 (2 pound) loin and i just split the marinade into two seperate bags. I am guessing on the cooking/prep time.
