This recipe offers a delightful twist on a classic meatloaf by incorporating the sweet and tangy flavors of apples and a luscious glaze.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, egg, grated onion, grated apple, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Use your hands to mix for a more even distribution of ingredients.
Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a baking dish.
Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking while shaping the loaf.
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to make the glaze.
Adjust the sweetness of the glaze by adding more or less sugar.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Cover the dish with foil to retain moisture during this stage.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the glaze evenly over the top.
Use a brush for a more even application of the glaze.
Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until fully cooked.
Check the internal temperature; it should reach 160°F (71°C).
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meatloaf juicier.
