Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup peeled and diced apple
  • ½ cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ cup BBQ sauce
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, diced apple, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the BBQ sauce. Mix with your hands until evenly blended.
  • Shape the mixture into a loaf about 8 inches long and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the maple syrup, remaining 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce, and apple cider vinegar to make the glaze.
  • Brush half the glaze over the top and sides of the meatloaf.
  • Bake for 35 minutes, then brush with the remaining glaze.
  • Continue baking for 15 to 20 minutes more until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees. Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

merknader

Use a firm apple like Granny Smith so the pieces hold their shape and add a slight tart note that balances the sweet maple glaze. If the glaze thickens too much while sitting, stir in a teaspoon of water before the final brushing. Leftovers reheat well in a 350-degree oven with a little extra glaze spooned on top to restore moisture.
