- 1 small Yellow onion
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 100 g Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 60 ml Milk
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
- 60 ml Ketchup
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Peel and grate the Granny Smith apple using a box grater, discarding the core.
Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, grated apple, diced onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, and milk.
Add parsley, salt, ground black pepper, and nutmeg to the mixture. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a wooden spoon until well combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing down gently to form a uniform shape.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce to make the glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F) when tested with a meat thermometer.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.
