Place the ground beef, chopped apricots, diced onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, paprika, cilantro, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl.
Mix everything with your hands or a spoon until the ingredients are evenly distributed and no streaks of spice remain.
Shape the mixture into a compact loaf about 8 inches long and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
If freezing for later, wrap the uncooked loaf tightly in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil and store in the freezer.
When ready to cook, thaw the loaf overnight in the refrigerator if frozen, then bake at 375 degrees F for 50 to 60 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
