Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds ground beef

- 1 large apple, grated
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, grated apple, chopped onion, and minced garlic.
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.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, shaping it into a smooth loaf with your hands.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and Dijon mustard to create the glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
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.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm alongside mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or your favorite side dishes.
