Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds ground beef
• 0.5 pounds ground pork
• 1 large apple, grated
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cups milk
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1.5 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon

• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cups ketchup
• 1 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, grated apple, chopped onion, and minced garlic.

Step 3

Add the breadcrumbs, egg, milk, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground allspice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated, but do not overmix to avoid a dense meatloaf.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, shaping it into a smooth loaf with your hands.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard to create the glaze.

Step 6

Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 7

Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.

Step 8

Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm alongside mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your favorite side dishes.
