  • Shape the mixture into a loaf about 8 inches long and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake the meatloaf for 30 minutes.
  • While it bakes, stir together the brown sugar, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Remove the meatloaf from the oven and spread the glaze evenly over the top and sides.
  • Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

merknader

The apple pieces soften during baking and help prevent the sausage from drying out, so avoid using very firm varieties like Granny Smith. Leftovers reheat well in a 350-degree oven with a light brush of extra glaze to restore the sticky surface. If you want a milder onion flavor, swap the raw onion for 1/4 cup of sautéed onion before mixing.
