How to Make Autumn Apple Meatloaf With Apple Glaze

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, gently combine 1.5 lbs ground beef, 0.5 lbs ground pork, 1 large egg (beaten), 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion, 1 cup finely chopped apple (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Use your hands to thoroughly mix all ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Shape the meatloaf mixture into a loaf and place it in a lightly greased 9x5 inch baking dish.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the caramel apple glaze (recipe below). Set aside.
  6. Bake the meatloaf for 45 minutes.
  7. After 45 minutes, evenly pour half of the apple glaze over the meatloaf.
  8. Continue baking for another 15 minutes. Baste with remaining glaze.
  9. Bake for a final 15 minutes, basting again halfway through, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the meatloaf is no longer pink. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
