4. In a bowl, combine the mushrooms, apples, cranberries, toasted walnuts, shallots, garlic, rosemary, parsley, salt and pepper to taste, and the maple syrup or honey (if using).

5. Spread the mixture over the opened pork loin.

6. Roll up tightly and secure the pork with kitchen string.

7. Place the stuffed pork loin in a roasting pan and cook in the oven for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 145° F.

8. When ready, remove the string and serve!
