Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Season the pork loin with salt and black pepper on all sides.

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Sear the pork loin until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove the pork loin and set aside.

In the same skillet, add chopped onion and garlic; sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in apple cider, chicken broth, brown sugar, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves; bring to a simmer.

Return the pork loin to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over it.

Arrange chopped carrots and potatoes around the pork in the skillet.

Cover the skillet with foil and roast in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

Remove the foil and add apple slices around the pork.

Continue roasting for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

Remove from the oven and let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Serve the pork with the roasted vegetables and sauce drizzled over top.
