This is not your mother's meatloaf. It's made of ground pork and not ground beef, with apples, quick-oats and egg with a tangy sweet glaze. It's a delicious dish that's extremely moist and flavorful.
Glaze:
1/2 c. bottled chili sauce
2 T. apple juice (or water)
2 T. apple butter (or applesauce)
1 1/2 T. apple cider vinegar
1 t. dry mustard
Meatloaf:
1 egg
1/4 c. apple butter
1/2 c. peeled, shredded apple (about 1 medium)
2 t. instant beef bouillon granules
2 t. dried minced onion
1 t minced garlic
½ t. salt
1/4 t. black pepper
2/3 c. quick-cooking oats
1 lb. ground pork
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line the bottom of a small broiler pan with aluminum foil (for easy clean up) to drain the grease away. A loaf pan(s) sprayed with cooking spray could also be used. Set aside.
Glaze:
In a bowl, whisk together chili sauce, apple juice, apple butter, vinegar and dry mustard. Transfer 1/3 c. to a small bowl; set aside both bowls of glazes.
Meatloaf:
In a large bowl, lightly whisk egg; add apple butter, shredded apple, beef bouillon, minced onion, garlic, salt, pepper and oats; mix well. Add ground pork; mix until well incorporated. Shape into a loaf (or loaves); place on broiler pan or in loaf pan(s). Pour the larger amount of glaze over the loaf, reserving the 1/3 c.
Bake 45 minutes. Remove from oven; brush on remaining 1/3 c. glaze. Return to oven; increase temperature to 400 degrees. Bake another 20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
Remove from oven; let sit 5-10 minutes before serving.
6 servings.
