How to Make Apple Meatloaf

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, in 2 tablespoons of butter until softened. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the sautéed onion, 2 lbs ground beef, 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1 cup peeled and diced apples (about 2 medium), 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 cup ketchup.
  4. Gently mix all ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a greased 10x14 inch baking pan or a large loaf pan.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup apple cider, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  7. Pour the apple cider glaze over the meatloaf.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
  9. Let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
