1. Place 13 x 9-inch metal baking pan in oven. Preheat oven to 400°. In small bowl, combine salt, garlic powder and pepper; rub mixture over pork. Place pork in preheated pan and roast 45 minutes or until outside is browned.

Add brown sugar, sage and reserved pork drippings; heat to boiling over high heat.

4. In cup, combine water and cornstarch; whisk into apple mixture and heat to boiling over high heat. Boil 1 minute; remove skillet from heat. To serve, slice pork and spoon apples and sauce over pork; sprinkle with pecans.
