- Bring 4 c. cider, salt, allspice, and bay leaf to boil in large saucepan, stirring to dissolve salt. Cold completely. Place pork in 13- by 9- by 2-inch glass baking dish. Pour brine over. Cover; chill overnight.
- Heat 2 Tbsp. butter in heavy large skillet over medium-low heat. Add in leeks; saute/fry till tender, about 7 min. Add in cream and simmer till slightly thickened, about 3 min. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Creamed leeks can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
- Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add in apples and saute/fry 10 min. Add in sugar and saute/fry till apples are golden brown, about 6 min longer. Add in stock, then Calvados and remaining 1/4 c. cider. Simmer till liquid thickens slightly and apples are tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 min. Set aside.
- Prepare barbecue (medium heat) or possibly preheat broiler. Drain pork. Rinse under cool water; pat dry. Brush pork with oil. Grill or possibly broil to desired doneness, about 5 min per side for medium.
- Meanwhile, rewarm leeks, thinning with 1 to 3 Tbsp. water if necessary. Bring apples to simmer. Spoon leeks onto plates. Top with pork, then apples.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
- Comments: Brining the pork makes it especially juicy.
