Cooking Difficulty
Using a small sharp knife make slits all over the rack of pork, about a dozen or more; push garlic slivers into each of the slits.
Heat maple syrup and butter until has melted; brush mixture all over roast. Combine rosemary, salt and pepper and pat all over rack of pork.
Place apple wedges in a mixing bowl, add brown sugar and cider vinegar; toss to coat.
Pre-heat oven to 450° F (230C). Scatter onions into roasting pan, sprinkle with olive oil and place rack of pork on top. Roast for 20 minutes then reduce heat to 325° F (160C).
Remove roasting pan from oven and arrange apples around the rack of pork. Continue roasting for another hour or until a meat thermometer registers 150F (66C). Let roast stand for 10 to 15 minutes before carving. Carve between the bones and serve with the apple and onion mixture.
