Serves 2-4

Preheat oven to 400°. Butterfly the loin by running a knife down the middle of the long side of the loin almost to the back edge. Open up the loin and cover with a piece of plastic wrap. Using the blunt edge of a meat tenderizing tool, gently flatten the piece of meat until you have a nice rectangle. (Alternatively, ask your butcher to butterfly the loin for you.) 

Sprinkle the loin with salt. Mix the apple, walnuts, shallot, rosemary, black pepper and apricots in a small bowl. Evenly distribute the mix over the pork loin. Roll up the loin, then carefully take a slice of bacon and wrap it the short way around the loin. Repeat this process with the 3 remaining pieces of bacon. Lay the loin seam-side down on the pan. Wrap with baking twine to secure. Bake for 25–35 minutes, until the internal temperature is 160°. Baste several times during the roasting period. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5–10 minutes. Slice and serve.
